It would seem that Mitch, and now Moscow, want it both ways. IE: The presidential count is iffy but not those for the Senate and House seats won by Republican candidates in the same ballot counts and states.

Oh My!

Mitch McConnell Says Trump Is ‘100% Within His Rights’ To Challenge Election
The Kentucky Republican declined to acknowledge President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) stood firmly behind Donald Trump on Monday as the president continues to raise baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud in an election he has refused to concede to President-elect Joe Biden.

The Kentucky Republican said Trump is “100% within his rights” to look into allegations of “irregularities,” pursue legal challenges and request recounts in several states, declining to acknowledge the former Democratic vice president’s victory.

“No states have yet certified their election results,” McConnell said Monday in a speech on the Senate floor. “I believe the president may have legal challenges underway in at least five states.”

Discussing prior presidential elections, he went on to assert: “If any major irregularities occurred this time of a magnitude that would affect the outcome, then every single American should want them to be brought to light. And if the Democrats feel confident they have not occurred, they should have no reason to fear any extra scrutiny.”

“We have the tools and the institutions we need to address any concerns,” McConnell added, saying that the Constitution doesn’t give “wealthy media corporations” the power to call elections.

Only four Republican senators have acknowledged Biden’s victory and congratulated him for winning the White House: Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, and Ben Sasse of Nebraska.

Dozens of world leaders and former President George W. Bush have also congratulated Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris of California, for their historic election win.

It’s difficult to make the argument that votes in contests favorable to the GOP were perfectly legitimate, whereas votes in the presidential race were not.

“Lawsuits must have basis in facts and evidence, and make no mistake, there has been no evidence of any significant or widespread voter fraud. Joe Biden won this election fair and square,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) proclaimed Monday, urging GOP leaders to come to grips with reality.

3. One tiny ray of light

here is that the four above-mentioned Senators might possibly be more ready to work across the aisle than they have been during the tRump Era.

I'll believe it when I actually see it happen. But they are not as completely insane as so many others are. Romney is pretty safe politically in Utah and Sasse and Collins don't have to worry about elections again before 2026. Murkowski is likely safe in Alaska as well.

If only we can win the two runoff elections in GA, we may finally have a functioning Senate, despite Moscow Mitch.

7. trump and McConnell enable each other

Its a sick relationship that continues to hurt this country.

We have to do everything we can to help our two GA senate candidates.
