Democrat mulls move to delay certification of Trump's victory

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Colo., indicated Thursday that he is exploring all possible procedures at his disposal to delay certification of the Electoral College results during a joint session of Congress on Friday.

Perlmutter hasn't committed to putting up a roadblock to finalizing the results, but his office confirmed that he is "reviewing certain laws and the U.S. Constitution as it pertains to efforts to undermine our electoral process."

The rules allow politicians to protest the counting of Electoral College votes, but because the votes are counted during a joint session of Congress, a senator would also have to protest the results to halt their certification.

Perlmutter was reacting to intelligence community officials' statements during hearings on Capitol Hill Thursday about Russia's meddling in the November elections. Intelligence officials say Russia was behind the hacking into Democratic emails last year in an attempt to sway the election.

#2 They're gonna fight Trump tooth and nail for the entire time he is in office. That's what Perlmutter is doing and it's the same thing with this Russian hacker business. They're gonna fight him every step of the way and the MSM is gonna be yapping right along with them.

#3 On the other hand AU, the reason the lot of them are so "brave", is because - so far - there wasn't any costs just benefits to this type of behavior.

Then let it flow. The Left has earned every bit enmity that is going to come their way.

#5 If I was Paul Ryan, I'd change this guy's office from its current location to the nearest mop closet. That's how you'll get this shit to stop.
