Stephen Miller on Fox & Friends says an alternative group of electors is also voting today: As we speak, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we are going to send those results to Congress. pic.twitter.com/5kIkfsbOFw Travis Akers (@travisakers) December 14, 2020 The only date in the Constitution is Jan. 20. So we have more than enough time to right the wrong of this fraudulent election result and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the election, said Miller while appearing on
Fox & Friends. As we speak, today, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we re going to send those results up to Congress, he continued. This will ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open. That means that if we win these cases in the courts, that we can direct that the alternate state of electors be certified.

(Bloomberg) With the vote of the Electoral College Monday, many of the congressional Republicans who for weeks have resisted referring to Joe Biden as president-elect are now acknowledging the contest for the White House is over.
“It’s time for everybody to move on,” said John Thune of South Dakota, the No. 2 Senate Republican. While there is an opportunity for lawmakers to contest the electors’ votes, that effort is “not going anywhere.”
“I understand there are people who feel strongly about the outcome of this election but in the end, at some point you have to face the music,” he said.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Among the 538 people in the Electoral College Monday to select the next President and Vice President of the United States was Vice Chairman of the Lubbock County Republican Party David Bruegel.
“I’m very honored to have the opportunity,” Bruegel told KCBD.
He sought the nomination at the Republican Party’s state convention to represent Congressional District 19 and be a member of the party’s slate of electors. Each state is allotted the same number of electors as members of its Congressional delegation.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell today recognized Joe Biden as president-elect, congratulating him on his victory after the Electoral College Monday voted to make Biden president.
This will no doubt help ease the way for a number of other leading Republicans wary of angering President Trump to go ahead and recognize Biden.
“The Electoral College has spoken. So today, I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden,” McConnell said. “The president-elect is no stranger to the Senate. He’s devoted himself to public service for many years. I also want to congratulate the vice president-elect, our colleague from California, Sen. Harris. Beyond our differences, all Americans can take pride that our nation has a female vice president-elect for the very first time.”
