U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) has been leading the charge of using congressional authority to challenge the Electoral College certification, given the manner in which votes were tallied for the November 3 election that has left many questions.
Since his initial announcement, Brooks has gained support from Republican House colleagues and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), who announced his intentions to join Brooks in objecting on January 6 last week. However, a handful of other Republicans’ effort threatening to join Brooks and Hawley if a so-called Electoral Vote Commission is not appointed has raised questions for Brooks.
During an appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Brooks outlined those concerns.

“Well, I’m baffled by it, quite frankly,” Brooks replied when asked by host Lou Dobbs. “If it had been proposed back in early November that had been one thing. The question now is how do you get a vote on it? What process do you use between now and 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday to get a vote to create this kind of Commission. I don’t know of a mechanism that is available to have that kind of vote in the House or the Senate. Time will tell if we are able to do that.”
“But from a substantive standpoint, even if they are able to get this Commission created, to have it done in 10 days, there’s no way in the world that a Commission can do a complete and thorough investigation that would divulge to the American people and members of the House and Senate how bad the voter fraud and the election theft has been in the November 2020 election cycle,” he added.
