Electoral College Challenge Leaves Republican Party Divided | NBC Nightly News

[domingom]

Voltaire — 'Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.'

They should all be in jail for what their doing to our democracy and our country .

[aver]

Please go right ahead and object all you want. We need a list to know who the dishonorable people are.

[theusfleague]

The more republicans sign on to object the easier it will be to identify who not to vote for in future elections.

[EricK-tbdn]

Yay, he's destroying the party on his way out. The trash is taking itself out

[stillkickin]

This may be the birth pangs of a third party. As for me, a moderate party that understands differences must be worked out within a framework that continues to keep our political system strong.

[lonewolf]

If it doesn’t change the outcome why do it?

[andrewfrazer]

While everyone is focused on this my main focus would be on the current pandemic and the fraud related that and the corporate greed taking advantage of we the people during a pandemic

[geraldineadams]

This guy wouldn't know fair if it slapped him in his lying chops.

[roberthunter]

It needs to be acknowledged that some brave Republicans with integrity have defied their party leader and spoken up for democracy and upheld the vote. I hope they form a new party, and that they survive, even if we disagree with their policies.

[elainejefferson]

The JUDICIARY must find the courage to act for the people. No excuses.

[MegaShrinkage]

“McConnell calling it a vote of conscience..” Hmm.. Does he really?? ... Have a conscience?? Lmao..

[thebirdistheword]

Mitch "Where's my money" McConnell will most likely vote for Shrump.

[tlaloc]

So sorry Mr. President but looks like YOU'RE FIIERERED!!!🤭

[janiekcarney]

One more reason we need a popular vote instead of electoral vote.

[samrugh]

I live in Pennsylvania & I can smell the stench coming from Ted Cruz/Texas...

[donnapayne]

tell me once again how Republicans aren't prejudiced

[stephenhill]

It doesn't matter. They can't do anything

[gedias]

Trump should just get out and create his own party. Then we could figure out who the alt-right is and who the real conservatives are.

[nancydouglas]

Let these Republicans object; sedition and should be removed from their office and charged.

[maodonimega]

This would be boring if it wasn't so devastating. Grow up!
