Ted Cruz will object when Congress certifies Joe Biden’s electoral win, joining 10 other senators demanding 10-day delay

Texan says doubts in a handful of battleground states Trump lost demand an emergency ‘audit.’ That brings Senate tally to a dozen.

WASHINGTON – Sen. Ted Cruz and 10 other GOP senators announced Saturday that they will oppose certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory when Congress meets Wednesday to review the Electoral College outcome, demanding a 10-day delay to allow an emergency “audit” of results in battleground states where President Donald Trump disputes the outcome.

Such a delay would put the election in doubt until Jan. 16, just four days before the inauguration.

But the gambit from Cruz and the others will not stop Congress from ratifying Biden’s Electoral College victory, because both the House and Senate would have to uphold objections, and Democrats control the House.

Biden won a decisive 306-232 victory in the Electoral College, and collected 7 million more votes nationwide than Trump.

“We are acting not to thwart the democratic process, but rather to protect it,” Cruz and his colleagues wrote.

Trump has objected to the outcomes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin. Overturning Biden’s victory would entail nullifying more than 20 million ballots cast in those states.

“Ideally, the courts would have heard evidence and resolved these claims of serious election fraud. Twice, the Supreme Court had the opportunity to do so; twice, the Court declined,” Cruz and his allies – six senators and four others who will be sworn in as senators on Sunday – noted in their demand for an emergency commission to investigate the election.

In fact, roughly 60 federal and state courts have rejected Trump’s allegations of fraud, ballot manipulation or constitutional violations as states expanded mail-in voting during the COVID-19 pandemic – findings that Cruz glossed over in his demand for an “audit.”

Texas attorney general Ken Paxton tried unsuccessfully to get the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the will of the majorities in four states where Biden’s margin of victory was a combined 267,204 votes, according the certified tally from each state. Trump’s own victory in 2016 hinged on a margin of just 80,000 combined votes in the closest four states.

State election officials from both parties have rejected allegations of fraud. Shortly before resigning as U.S. attorney general, William Barr irked Trump by saying the Justice Department had found no evidence of widespread fraud.

Biden’s transition office remained mum on the move. But Mike Collier, a senior adviser to his campaign in Texas and former Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, blasted Cruz and the others as “traitors” to democracy.

“Americans will move heaven and earth to rid our Congress of traitors who would vote against the Electoral College and our sacred democracy. They are an embarrassment to our country and its values,” he tweeted.

In the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the rest of the GOP leadership have been trying to deter members of their caucus from objecting. They recognize that the effort has no chance of overturning Biden’s victory, and had hoped to avert votes that force senators to choose between loyalty to Trump and their vows to protect and defend the Constitution.

“Adults don’t point a loaded gun at the heart of legitimate self-government,” Sen. Ben Sasse, a Nebraska Republican, wrote on Wednesday, blasting fellow Republicans who seek to derail Biden’s victory without evidence as “institutional arsonist members of Congress.”

By some accounts, as many as 140 House Republicans plan to object. Five Texans have announced their intentions to do so: Reps Louie Gohmert of Tyler, Lance Gooden of Terrell, Brian Babin of Woodville, Randy Weber of Friendswood and congressman-elect Ronny Jackson of Lubbock.

In the Senate, only one Republican had announced before Saturday that he would object: Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri.

Both Hawley and Cruz are expected to seek the GOP nomination for president in 2024, and their moves at this stage are widely seen as efforts to ingratiate themselves with Trump and his supporters. Cruz was runner-up to Trump in 2024.

I have no idea what Ted Cruz even does except take an "ass-hole" stance on every issue, tweet something stupid occasionally and plan for his next presidential run.

In Ted Cruz’s FEC Suit, Judges Question Whether Campaign Restriction Stops Corruption


https://www.law.com/nationallawjourn...op-corruption/

On Wednesday, Cruz’s attorney Charles “Chuck” Cooper of Cooper & Kirk argued the law was meant to level the playing field among candidates, not to prevent corruption. The FEC claims that the potential for a quid pro quo-style deal can increase after an election, when it’s clear the candidate will be in office.

Cooper also argued the limit places a burden on candidates’ ability to take out personal loans that would then go toward their campaigns, in violation of the First Amendment. But U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta of the District of Columbia sounded skeptical of those claims[.] Mehta said Cooper has not provided any evidence showing that candidates would have made bigger loans to their campaigns if it weren’t for the post-election restrictions. “I’m not sure how you get out of the starting gate when you haven’t presented evidence that anyone’s rights have been burdened,” the judge said.
