Is that how this works?
The 2020 election was unique in all of American history that it was the one election that was illegal to question. Doing so was an “attack on democracy”.
Claiming that Republicans and Jeb Bush stole the 2000 election was fine. Challenging the 2004 election by claiming ‘voter suppression’ was patriotic dissent. And setting off an entire international investigation and threatening social media companies over claims that the Russians stole the 2016 election for Trump with ‘fake news’ was absolutely serious business that required the resources of the entire country.
But the 2020 election was sacrosanct. Any questions about an election conducted during the pandemic with ad hoc partisan rules, as many ballots as could be sent in, and no security, was an attack on democracy and the deadliest threat since the Civil War and the First Barons War.
What about the 2024 election? Can that be challenged? Will that be ‘election denial’ and subject to a nationwide FBI manhunt and arrests of people at the state level for participating in election challenges? Will lawyers be disbarred for simply participating in election challenges?
As with everything, it depends on who wins.
House Democrats railed against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for hedging on whether a GOP-controlled House would certify a Kamala Harris victory. But some of their senior members are playing a similar game.
Raskin, the House Oversight Committee ranking member and former Jan. 6 committee member who objected to Trump electors in 2017, told Axios in an interview that if Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it.”
However, Raskin said he “definitely” doesn’t assume that Trump would use free, fair and honest means to secure a victory.
Trump “is doing whatever he can to try to interfere with the process, whether we’re talking about manipulating electoral college counts in Nebraska or manipulating the vote count in Georgia or imposing other kinds of impediments,” Raskin said.
House Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), who also objected to Trump electors in 2017, said Democrats would certify a Trump victory “assuming everything goes the way we expect it to.”
“assuming everything goes the way we expect it to.”
What else needs to be said?
That’s just the way tyrants are.
Thousands of years of political history show that those with power do not surrender it. Exceptions, such as Cincinnatus and George Washington, were recognized as such in their times.
That’s a good point. Ancient Rome was incredibly corrupt.
In our time, leftists have been stealing elections all over the world.
Pinochet surrendered power after he seized it and he restored Argentina, just he’d vowed he would.
Hundreds of historical rulers have abdicated power but few of them did so selflessly or fulfilled a promise by doing so. Cincinnatus, Washington and Pinochet were extremely honorable men.
Yes, Pinochet, for any Marxists creeping around here. Allende was a piece of shit who nearly destroyed Argentina.
You confuse Argentina with Chile.
(or vice-versa) :))
Yes, my mistake. I don’t know what I was thinking, other than Pinochet gets a bad rap from left-wing scum, who’ve never met a Marxist they don’t like.
The Demo-Brats are Sore Losers just look back at the 2000 election
Raskin, knowing that there is going to be nothing “free, fair, and honest” about what the Democrats get up to is laying the groundwork for them to defend themselves when they put up the loudest, longest, most corrupt objections every heard in a US election.
they are accusing President Trump and us of what they do and intend to do – with their ally the main sleaze media – they blast to the ignorant fools who lap up these lies their treasonous crimes but change the name of the culprits – everything the demonKKKrats lie about is what they are doing
Translation:
“You peasants can no longer be trusted at the ballot box. We, your Master’s, will decide outcomes from now on for your own good.”
The establishment will absolutely not tolerate another Trump Presidency.. Nope. Everything is on the table to prevent him getting sworn in. From repeated assassination attempts, putting him in prison to declaring Martial Law.
THe LOrd will take care of Raskin…….🙏🏼
He was there at least TWO times when an assassins bullet nearly took Trumps’ life.
He is watching Jamie and the rest of the democrat fools.
….I think Raskin is on his last thread anyways.
Democrats have rejected every Republican election since Reagan.
“No House seat, no office in this land is more important than the principles we swore to protect,” Ms. Cheney said in her concession speech. “Our nation is barreling once again toward crisis, lawlessness and violence. No American should support election deniers.”
J6 Select Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson boycotted Donald Trump’s inauguration and called him an “illegitimate President”.
J6 Committee Member Adam Schiff, spent two years repeatedly lying about evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia.
J6 Committee Member Rep. Jamie Raskin, challenged the certification of the Electoral College on the House floor on January 6, 2017.
J6 Committee Member Zoe Lofgren, co-authored a report supported by 21 other Democrats advising against the certification of the 2004 Ohio electoral college – a move which was then backed by Nancy Pelosi in a speech on the House Floor in December 2004 in support of her Democrat colleagues who were attempting to overturn George W. Bush’s election victory.
Mississippi Representative Bennie Thompson voted to oppose the 2004 (G.W. Bush) Ohio electoral college certification on the theory that black Ohio voters had been disenfranchised – that vote failed.
Hillary Clinton, said on numerous occasions that “you can have the election stolen from you”
Stacey Abrams has yet to concede the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election.
Democrats have, on NUMEROUS occasions, challenged the certification of the electoral college including…
January 6, 2001: 10 Congressional Black Caucus Members (Representatives Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL), Carrie P. Meek (D-FL), Corrine Brown (D-FL), Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Elijah E. Cummings (D-NC), Maxine Waters (D-CA), Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), and Eva M. Clayton (D-MD)) attempted to overturn the results of the 2000 (George H. W. Bush and his running mate Dick Cheney) presidential election by objecting to Florida’s electoral votes.
Attention voters in Jamie Raskin’s district – VOTE HIM OUT THIS YEAR!
