The nearest Wednesday 6th of January, the day in the Congress debi be a formality: a joint meeting of both chambers in which the electoral results certified by each state are to be formalized and reconstructed the result of the Electoral College and the President-elect, which in this case is the Democrat Joe Biden.
But in these elections, when it comes to a fluid process, it is hoped that this simple content will last much longer, despite the fact that a group of Republican senators encapsulated by Ted Cuz (Texas) to present the result, in that it performs an ultimate action to align with the President, Donald Trump. In another separate motion, Josh Hawley (senador republicano de Missouri) chose the object of an integral election.
It is clear that these elections have been going on since the moment Trump continues to falsely claim that he passed November 3rd. In these months, the states have counted their votes, and in cases like Georgia have counted the times, always giving Biden the victory. Finally, in December, the Electoral College formally drew the 306 Democratic votes against 232 that Trump won, with the election ending officially.
However, the Republican has tried to denounce the fraudulent process that he did not commit. Has sought to return the result presenting requests that fueron descended a tras otra for failure of proof or legal support in state, federal courts and up to the Supreme Court. The Justice Department, led by Trump’s ally, William Barr, said it had no evidence of a massive fraud.
So far, what does this mean for Cruz and Trump’s other allies? and what do you hope will be the 6th of January in Congress? Here, the keys:
What will be the 6th of January?
It is a matter of a quarter that it is predicted that science will mediate with the meetings of the respective chambers. Approximately one hour later representatives and senators will meet in the presidential session chaired by the Vice President, Mike Pence, in his role as President of the Senate.
It receives and elects the electoral results certified by each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia to be counted and conducted officially by Congress. People designed by ambas cámaras who verify the results.
Under normal conditions, this content does not have more than two hours, because in reality it is treated as a formality, but as in this case there will be objections, the process will be long.
It has been stated that the Congress in this session is simply verifying the decision and announced by the Electoral College (which is the organ which elects the President, according to the second-degree voting system that is in place in the EU) and has no power to change it. result.
What is the objection to? The case of the ‘Cruz team’
This Saturday, January 2nd, a group of 11 senators and electors from the Republican Party captured by Cruz said that the result was because he had “accusations without precedents of electoral fraud … and other irregularities in the vote”.
Cruz and his group of Republicans do not declare that the allegations of fraudulent allegations are made by the perpetrator campaign, and were carried out in court in all countries.
In the joint declaration, the Republicans will pay an auditorium of 10 days of the results of the elections in “disputed states” and will vote to vote in favor of the electors of those states.
This group of senators cites a precedent set in 1877, when a bipartisan committee is formed to investigate victories in three states that are being prosecuted by both parties.
How does the objection work?
Technically, any legislator can question the result of the votes of the Electoral College in a state, but in order for the median advance to have at least one member of the Cámara Baja and one of the Senate who agreed and took the motion for discussion.
In this case, this rule is being complied with in addition to those of our senators, in the Camara Bay, Alabama’s Republican Rep.
As a result, a motion was tabled before the House of Representatives, in which it was decided to vote separately in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.
The final vote on whether or not there is an objection. But in order for the challenge to be effective and for the sake of change, both rooms must be in agreement in order to prosper. This appears to be the way to succeed in this case.
Can you ‘change’ the result of the election?
It is not hoped that anything will happen to this action. Hecho, the same group of Republicans who say that they will say that they do not hope to succeed: “We are not engineers. We hope that the Mayor, if not all Democrats, and quizzes more than one Republican people, vote in another way”, Indian in the communiqué that defiled the late of Saturday.
In addition, in order for the content of electoral votes to be held, it has a simple majority in both chambers that support such advertising: Republican varios of the Senate and it is said that it does not question the result, and the Democrats control the Chamber of Deputies, by which que is impossible que vayan a tomar una medida en contra de Biden.
The only effect that will drive the maneuver of the Cruz group is to warn in various hours of a protocol session that will resolve rapidly.
But the most lasting and grave impact will be to follow up on the theories of fraud against Biden and potentially delegitimize the good results on the part of the voters (Trump’s, at least) the election result.
And entones, To what object?
Various analysts say that these are their only objections to a ‘maneuver’ to congratulate President Trump, who has shown himself to be a powerful influence within. Republican Party, pese a que esté de salida de la Casa Blanca.
There are those who say that both Trump and this group of Republicans also intend to delegitimize the incumbent president, give a ‘record’ that Biden has not won a limp election, even if in the history of the history of democratic democracy he has committed fraud .
The initiative of this puppet of Republican senators appears to show a grip on the Republican Party because he gave the ballot to leader McConnell, who lied about certifying the result of the Electoral College Reconciliation to Biden in the plenum of the Senate and lied to him Colleagues desist from these games and accept a time in the Democracy as the mandate elects the 3rd of November.
