Some Democratic House members attempted to object to some states Electoral College votes to protest the election results. But their objections went nowhere because they were unable to gain the support of a senator, per the rules. Despite protests, the final vote tally was: Donald Trump: 304 electoral votes Democrats objected 11 times, citing a variety of issues, including "Russian interference," "massive voter suppression" and the "violation of the Voting Rights Act." Vice President Joe Biden, who sat in the chair and presided over the 41 minute-long process in the House chamber, attempted to speed through the objections. After the third objection and the third time Biden asked if a senator had signed on, Biden said, "it is over." But a handful of Democratic House members continued to object during specific states and tried to continue their speeches even after Biden gaveled them down and said debate is not allowed. After the states were counted, three citizens in the audience gallery stood up to demonstrate. At one point, Rep. Maxine Watters, D-Calif., stood and asked for a senator to join them. Only four Democratic senators attended the ceremony. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said she was not encouraging objections but that she would "support" them. "I think people don't want the day to pass without registering concerns," she told reporters Friday. "In some cases, members are concerned about voter suppression, in some cases they are concerned about Russian influence on our election. There are a number of concerns. But it's not going to have an impact at the end of the day." Every objection must be made in writing and signed by one member of the House and one senator. In 2001, when Democrats objected after the contested election between George Bush and Vice President Al Gore, no senator joined an objection then either. During that process, Gore, as vice-president, presided over the process. GO RON GO! Congress made the election of Donald Trump official Friday, certifying the votes of the Electoral College in a formal joint session of Congress.

Faith of Spotted Eagle got more electoral votes than the Libertarian candidate. I think I'm going to look into that platform.
Right into the coffin please. And take your KOOK paultard cult followers with you... all 6% of them. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You wanna-be cops ALWAYS think you can order independents around. One of these days, you are going to push wwaayy too much and it will start a revolt.
I'm retired, kook sucker. If there is a revolt, I'll have fun killing every paultard, every democrat, every welfare rat, every PETA member, every Bernie Sandard douche, every Black LIES matters follower... every Occupy Wallstreet hippy bastard... and every convicted felon I have ammo for. No due process needed. I'll chlorinate the hippy libtard gene pool. If there is a revolt... I'll have use for those 50K primers. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Not unless we create your demise first.
You or any other filthy WEAK libtard doesn't have what it takes. It's what I've been trying to tell you liberally WEAK sheep. While you cry about a pitbull or sob over how hard a drug addict has life... I'd gladly step on either to snuff your weakness out. You best wake up early, and eat your Wheaties, Sonny. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
blah ... blah ... blah
A strong mandate to defy the Canary Cult!
