Joint Statement from Senators Cruz, Johnson, Lankford, Daines, Kennedy, Blackburn, Braun, Senators-Elect Lummis, Marshall, Hagerty, Tuberville

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and Mike Braun (R-Ind.), and Senators-Elect Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) issued the following statement in advance of the Electoral College certification process on January 6, 2021:

“America is a Republic whose leaders are chosen in democratic elections. Those elections, in turn, must comply with the Constitution and with federal and state law.

“When the voters fairly decide an election, pursuant to the rule of law, the losing candidate should acknowledge and respect the legitimacy of that election. And, if the voters choose to elect a new office-holder, our Nation should have a peaceful transfer of power.

“The election of 2020, like the election of 2016, was hard fought and, in many swing states, narrowly decided. The 2020 election, however, featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities.

Voter fraud has posed a persistent challenge in our elections, although its breadth and scope are disputed. By any measure, the allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election exceed any in our lifetimes.

“And those allegations are not believed just by one individual candidate. Instead, they are widespread.

Reuters/Ipsos polling

, tragically, shows that 39% of Americans believe ‘the election was rigged.’ That belief is held by Republicans (67%), Democrats (17%), and Independents (31%).

“Some Members of Congress disagree with that assessment, as do many members of the media.

“But, whether or not our elected officials or journalists believe it, that deep distrust of our democratic processes will not magically disappear. It should concern us all. And it poses an ongoing threat to the legitimacy of any subsequent administrations.

“Ideally, the courts would have heard evidence and resolved these claims of serious election fraud. Twice, the Supreme Court had the opportunity to do so; twice, the Court declined.

“On January 6, it is incumbent on Congress to vote on whether to certify the 2020 election results. That vote is the lone constitutional power remaining to consider and force resolution of the multiple allegations of serious voter fraud.

“At that quadrennial joint session, there is long precedent of Democratic Members of Congress raising objections to presidential election results, as they did in 1969, 2001, 2005, and 2017. And, in both 1969 and 2005, a Democratic Senator joined with a Democratic House Member in forcing votes in both houses on whether to accept the presidential electors being challenged.

“The most direct precedent on this question arose in 1877, following serious allegations of fraud and illegal conduct in the Hayes-Tilden presidential race. Specifically, the elections in three states—Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina—were alleged to have been conducted illegally.

“In 1877, Congress did not ignore those allegations, nor did the media simply dismiss those raising them as radicals trying to undermine democracy. Instead, Congress appointed an Electoral Commission—consisting of five Senators, five House Members, and five Supreme Court Justices—to consider and resolve the disputed returns.

“We should follow that precedent. To wit, Congress should immediately appoint an Electoral Commission, with full investigatory and fact-finding authority, to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election returns in the disputed states. Once completed, individual states would evaluate the Commission’s findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed.

“Accordingly, we intend to vote on January 6 to reject the electors from disputed states as not ‘regularly given’ and ‘lawfully certified’ (the statutory requisite), unless and until that emergency 10-day audit is completed.

“We are not naïve. We fully expect most if not all Democrats, and perhaps more than a few Republicans, to vote otherwise. But support of election integrity should not be a partisan issue. A fair and credible audit—conducted expeditiously and completed well before January 20—would dramatically improve Americans’ faith in our electoral process and would significantly enhance the legitimacy of whoever becomes our next President. We owe that to the People.

“These are matters worthy of the Congress, and entrusted to us to defend. We do not take this action lightly. We are acting not to thwart the democratic process, but rather to protect it. And every one of us should act together to ensure that the election was lawfully conducted under the Constitution and to do everything we can to restore faith in our Democracy.”

  1. Unfortunately, I don’t see my two Republican senators names on the list. President Trump has amazing support, so a wise politician would be part of this. All that money from lobbyists will be useless to those who turn their backs on President Trump.

    • it doesn’t matter to them when they have dominion voting machines counting the votes. They don’t give a dam about what you think, or anyone else.

  2. This is absolutely the right and responsible thing to do. What honest and fair minded American would object to such an audit? It would do much to address the issue of doubt and distrust which surrounds this election. Those being accused of fraud should be the first to welcome this step…if they have nothing to hide.

  3. Wait how can 4 senator elect sign a document or dispute an election that they won? We’re they not on the same ballot?

  4. From a 2016 article describing what Cuban Canadian Cruz really thinks about trump:

    Ted Cruz on Tuesday unloaded on Donald Trump, accusing him during a news conference of being a “pathological liar,” “utterly amoral,” “a narcissist at a level I don’t think this country’s ever seen” and “a serial philanderer.” “He is proud of being a serial philanderer … he describes his own battles with venereal diseases as his own personal Vietnam,” Cruz said, citing a decades-old Trump appearance on “The Howard Stern Show.” “This man is a pathological liar, he doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies … in a pattern that is straight out of a psychology text book, he accuses everyone of lying,” Cruz said as Indiana voters headed to cast their ballots. “Whatever lie he’s telling, at that minute he believes it … the man is utterly amoral,” Cruz told reporters. “Donald is a bully … bullies don’t come from strength they come from weakness.”

    • Bo when bullies gave taken over the nation in disguise and by deceiving the people them when a person almost alone has to try to overthrow and expose them only someone with strength courage tenacity and grit can do the job And that person will be described by the mob of bullies acting secretly all together as a bully That’s tbe truth That’s always their tactics .They practiced eith witches for 500 years ,testing their reverse psychology on the public si they know how to be total hypocrites and total deceivers by following ” always the same always the opposite ” strategies

  5. sounds like a resistance equal to their resistance to Obama care. Just enough resistance to put up a show, but not enough to do anything substantial. Just so they can say they tried, and shrug their shoulders and walk off into the communist sunset.

    • Quite likely Although some are sincere ,but others are loyal to foreign principalities as described by jFK in his historic speech regarding Secret Societies ..

  6. I just saw ,yesterday ,a video of a younger Pelosi personage giving a lecture in Congrees during an exact same situation of procedures on the urgent importance of ensuring all elections are open and transparent and not subject to suspicion How essential it is for democracy. So now they show themselves to be hypocrites by not acknowledging the affidavits of THOUSANDS of citizens, but instead choose to call them liars when it suits their personal selfish greedy thieving deceiving criminal objectives .That’s them .Typical them .Typical

  7. What is REALLY happening, that they are DOWNPLAYONG furiously os the earth shifting on its axis I just looked at my compass and north has moved a massive amount from where it was 10 years ago Massive amount .That’s why climates ” changing ” .And I believe it’s because if the mining of iron in particular that’s occurred now since the beginning of the Iron Age .And they wont admit that because it ties their arms rackets and military industrialists in as the CULPRITS recklessly destroying the earth for their greed and their LOVE OF MONEY .

    • And the follow on from that is Pelosis gender identity Satan is Androgynous .Her policy is to outlaw terms such as Heavenly Father Mother of Jesus ,Sister and Brother And shes Catholic Think about it The agenda and those behind it And headlines in todays Sky New s are revealing that LGBQ T politics are the top priority of Catholic Bidens INTENDED PRESIDENCY .” They’re all in it together ” Princess DiannaAnd you wont WILL NOT hear the Pope utter a single squeak in defense of the Father.
