Alabama Republican Rep. Mo Brooks wants senators to sign on to objecting to the Electoral College votes during the joint session on Wednesday.
Brooks said to Fox Business’ Lou Dobbs Monday that there are 100 Republicans in the House objecting to the electors, but senators were needed on that side.
“Now, we’ve had about a dozen who are kind of going through the motions, a dozen senators, but what we really need are senators who will sign the dotted line and join our objections to Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada,” Brooks said to Fox.
Brooks said the House side was strong.
“I would anticipate that we will have over 100 United States congressmen who will support this effort on the House floor,” Brooks said to Fox.
Brooks told Fox he believed there were at least 30 members in the House that would object to each of the battleground states and in other states the number was 40 or 50.
“On the Senate side though, I’m a little bit disheartened,” Brooks said to Fox. “It appears that right now, we only have one senator, Josh Hawley, who’s agreed to co-sponsor one objection for one state, that being Pennsylvania.”
Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) also said she would object to the votes.
Brooks also said he didn’t see how an Electoral Commission that several Republican senators called for could be enacted before 1 p.m. tomorrow.
“The question now is, how do you get a vote on it?” Brooks said on Fox. “What process do you use between now and 1 p.m. eastern time on Wednesday to get a vote to create this kind of commission?”
Brooks said he’s worried there aren’t enough senators on board.
“I’m very much concerned that we have far too many congressmen and senators who have yet to do their homework, who have yet to perceive that the evidence is overwhelming and compelling of voter fraud and election theft, and who are more apt to duck and run, cower in their foxhole, rather than do the right thing for our country,” Brooks said.
Brooks said if Republicans don’t stand up and fight, election fraud will win. He said he will continue to fight for election integrity.
