Olbermann blogs up to six senators are on board for the challenge
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 07:54 PM by BlueInRed
From his blog: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

"Challengers are go (Keith Olbermann)

Sick Bed, New York— Nothing is in writing and daybreak is a long way away, but it appeared all but certain in early evening Wednesday that House Democrats had secured the support of up to half a dozen Senators to formally challenge the Electoral College slate from Ohio, when the votes are opened before a joint session of Congress tomorrow.

Congressional sources tell this reporter that the house half of the written objection — which has the declared support of more than a dozen Representatives — is expected to be signed by Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio. Republican leadership expects the Senate signatory to be Barbara Boxer of California, but this has not yet been formalized. The Majority is also worried about the possible absence of many of its members in both houses, and the prospect that a quorum might not be achieved, leading the process into uncharted, albeit not very threatening, constitutional grounds. There is a mathematical, if not practical, chance that the ratification of the Electoral College vote could be delayed past tomorrow."


On Edit-
I see someone beat me to the punch even though I checked for another thread. Moderators, please feel free to delete this duplicate post.
