>U.S. Sen. James Lankford on Saturday joined a [**group of Republican senators**](https://tulsaworld.com/news/national/sen-ted-cruz-leads-11-gop-senators-challenging-biden-win-over-trump/article_8dff82c2-c8a5-58a4-a2f9-a661a02d02de.html#utm_source=tulsaworld.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletter-templates%2Fbreaking&utm_medium=PostUp&utm_content=6ef120eb4be4eaaac1b081553f76ce3c0accc0ca) who say they'll oppose final approval of Electoral College results on Wednesday until a special commission "audits" election results in several states before the Jan. 20 inauguration date.
>
>Speaking by telephone Saturday afternoon, Lankford said his objective is to clear up as many questions about the election as possible.
>
>"We're trying to get the facts out," Lankford said. "We want to be able to say those questions were answered to the best of our ability."
>
>The questions are being raised almost entirely by President Donald Trump and his loyalists; the courts, election officials and supporters of Democrat Joe Biden say those questions have been answered and are being kept alive only to poison public confidence in the election process.
>
>*Lankford said his intention is the opposite.*
>
>*"I've got three groups of folks," he said. "I've got folks in the state who are saying, 'Move on, Biden won.' I have folks who say, 'Trump won, obviously. Do whatever it takes, including run over the Constitution.' And I have folks who say, 'Something just doesn't smell right.'*
So, you gave in to the people who want the Constitution trampled to death?!
​
Great job, Lankford!
​
2022 can't come soon enough. This is utterly distasteful, Lankford. Funny how in Oklahoma Lankford is paraded as this "principled" conservative. It's all a facade. He's a wannabe fascist. This is laughable from the guy who shut down a comission towards the equality act due to acceptance of transgender individuals, but he wants to support a wannabe coup that has no evidence for its fascism.
​
I'm utterly disgusted by the Republicans in my state, every one of them. When will Oklahoma stop voting for the magic R and actually wake up to see the malaise our state is in thanks to them? | 1State Anger

So about 150 or so congressional Republicans have chosen Trump over America? Got no words... traitorous and spineless cowards.

" Together the 11 senators they say that the election “featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud and illegal conduct”. "
Well, technically, they're correct. Never before has an entire party alleged voter fraud on a single entry of an entire ballot. Never has a party continue to allege fraud with after failing to produce a shred of evidence. At some point, most people typically produce some shred of proof.
So far, my favorite "proofs" are:
* There were more people registered to vote in Michigan than voted in Minnesota, therefore the Georgia vote was fraudulent.
* There was fraud in Venezuela, therefore Pennsylvania's count in democratic districts was wrong.
* Because I said so | 0Trait Anger

People are going to overwhelmingly shit on Mitt Romney because he has done his damage, but none of that compares to the blatant sedition happening right now. That's why I think these statements from Mitt/Toomey/Sasse actually do matter.
It basically boils down to, "Let's be shitty within the confines of an operating democracy. We can't bypass democracy to be even shittier." | 1State Anger

*“My fellow Senator Ted Cruz and the co-signers of his statement argue that rejection of electors or an election audit directed by Congress would restore trust in the election. Nonsense.

“The egregious ploy to reject electors may enhance the political ambition of some, but dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic. The congressional power to reject electors is reserved for the most extreme and unusual circumstances. These are far from it. More Americans participated in this election than ever before, and they made their choice. President Trump’s lawyers made their case before scores of courts; in every instance, they failed. The Justice Department found no evidence of irregularity sufficient to overturn the election. The Presidential Voter Fraud Commission disbanded without finding such evidence.

> Which, if it comes to pass, is an utter disaster for the near-term (and maybe middle and long term ) future of the GOP. A fissure that creates a Trump party and a Republican Party would likely lead to losses up and down the ballot in swing seats and states -- as there are simply not enough Republicans in the country to split themselves up and still win.
>Smart conservative minds -- like Thune and McConnell -- understand this math. Trump either doesn't or doesn't care. Either way, what he is threatening to do to the Republican Party could leave it badly damaged for years to come.

There is only one Republican Party. A small percentage of swing voters have already left. The remainders are hard core believers.
The official Republican party platform in 2020 was to follow Donald Trump and do whatever he wants. That was the first time in history a party hasn’t had a political platform. These politicians are going to be following the Trumpism platform for years because they have no other platform. It is a Fox News inspired reality show designed to generate power and wealth. | 0Trait Anger

When JC gave his *law day speech* back in 1976, I don't think CNN existed yet. In fact, probably the only press person there that day, may have been Hunter S Thompson, who was there by happenstance, because he was tagging along with the Teddy Kennedy entourage.
Jimmy Carter was lame duck governor of Georgia, and had had his fill of the legislature and lobbyists. He apparently gave them a piece of his mind. HST reported it in Rolling Stone, and what an article it was (including his recap of what the USSS had stashed in the trunk of the rental car). Fun times. | 1State Anger

Romney should challenge Mitch for speaker. If the Dems don't win the senate they should support him. | 2Anger Expression

Lol, still a half assed comment. This is not "members of congress", it's members of your party - likely to be at or near a majority of all Republicans in both chambers - who are calling on this.
Jim Jeffords was a patriot who switched party affiliations and altered the balance of power. But the chickenshit brow furrowing GOP members there now don't have an iota of his character. | 1State Anger
