Senate Dems on Barbara Boxer's objection, Jan. 2005

Hillary: "I commend the senator from California for raising the objection"
Ted Kennedy: "I commend and thank our friend for giving us this opportunity"
Harry Reid: "I applaud my friend"
Dick Durbin: "I thank her for doing it"
Perhaps Amy Klobuchar should ask her Dem colleagues why they participated in a "coup attempt" in 2005 🙄 https://twitter.com/amyklobuchar/status/1344335956409774086
FYI: Obama, just three days after he'd assumed office, also used the opportunity to lament that so many American voters have doubts as to "whether our processes are fair and just"
The challenge to certification of Ohio 2004 results for Bush was based on allegations of "irregularities" and "fraud" (inferred from purported exit poll discrepancies), claimed violations state/federal law, and much more. John Conyers produce a report outlining these theories
A lot of the anti-certification Dem rhetoric circa 2004-5 is uncannily similar to anti-certification GOP rhetoric today https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1327271292450562048
And then this from Jan 2017 will also be ignored, with the main difference being that House Dems couldn't find a Senator to sign onto their plan. Barbara Lee literally screamed about Russia before being cut off by Biden, who presided over the joint session https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1338995023187226625
