Hawley pushes back on pressure from McConnell

 Epoch Times:

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has doubled down on objecting to Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, despite pressure from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
...

According to the report, McConnell held a conference call with Senate Republicans on Thursday morning in which he questioned Hawley multiple times about his intent for the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress. However, McConnell got no reply as Hawley was not on the call.
...

The senator said that his constituents are “deeply angry and disillusioned,” and are frustrated that Congress has not taken any meaningful action to investigate the voter fraud claims, with the exception of Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) who held a Senate hearing on election irregularities earlier this month.

“I intend to object during the certification process on January 6 in order to force these issues to the fore, and to point out the unprecedented failure of states like Pennsylvania to follow their own election laws and the unprecedented efforts of the Big Tech corporations to interfere with this election,” Hawley added.
...

I find it deeply frustrating that so many are willing to ignore Pennsylvania's willful violation of the Constitution.  All the states that ignored their own laws on when and how an election is to take place should be called to account.  The failure to do so sets an awful precedent. 

Howley is right to challenge those states and other senators should join him.  McConnell and the rest of the Senate leadership have not made a compelling case as to why the Constitutional requirements should be ignored.

BTW, Pennsylvania House and Senate members have written McConnell and McCarthy urging them to dispute the submitted election results from their state to protest.  One report by Pennsylvania investigators found 205,000 more votes than there were voters.
