Here’s a thread on the ‘irksome’ revisionism about Democrats voting to reject electoral votes in 2004 Posted at 3:36 pm on December 31, 2020 by Brett T. As you might have heard, Sen. Josh Hawley has said he’ll raise an objection during the process of certifying the 2020 electoral votes on Jan. 6th; CNN’s Jake Tapper is already on his case for fundraising off his “upcoming stunt to join with the election conspiracy theorists.” As we noted, Twitter was adding fraud disclaimers to tweets calling into question the integrity of Dominion Voting Systems; it’s just too bad Twitter wasn’t around during the 2004 election so it could have done the same to any tweet doing the same about Diebold. In his statement, Hawley said that in objecting, he was just following “the same practice Democratic members have used in the past,” specifically the 2004 and 2016 elections. In other words, objecting to the certification is neither new nor uncommon.
