Yellowhammer Times

U.S. Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama) may be an ally  for U.S. Representative Mo Brooks, who plans to challenge the Electoral College votes in a bid to keep President Trump in office. 

In order to do so, Brooks needs support from at least one senator when the new Congress takes office Jan. 6. While there has been talk of possible allies like Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, Tuberville may be another name to add to the mix.

“You see what’s coming. You’ve been reading about it in the House. We’re going to have to do it in the Senate,” Tuberville said in a video taken during a rally. 

Tuberville went on to encourage the crowd not to give up the fight. 

“We got to grab a hold and hold on, we have no choice but to win this election,” he said. “They’re gonna try to steal it; they’re going to try to buy it. They're going to do everything they can - lie, cheat and steal - to win this election, like they did in the presidential election. It's impossible...what happened, but we're going to get that all corrected. I'm going to tell you don't give up on [President Trump]; don't give up on him.”

Just three days after Tuberville is sworn in, Congress will meet to discuss the Electoral College’s decision that handed the presidency over to Joe Biden.

Should Tuberville decide to support Brooks, it will go directly against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s advice to fellow Republicans not to challenge the election results.

Brooks claims that state election laws on mail ballots were unconstitutional and should not be counted as legitimate votes.

To have the electoral votes tossed, a member of the House and Senate must request a debate and vote in both chambers to accept or reject the state's electors. If both chambers successfully challenge and vote to reject it, the state's electoral slate is tossed.
