An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
Call the Senators objecting to accepting electoral votes as witnesses.
2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
I have a suggestion that I hope may help in having the Senate convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial.
Eight Senators voted against accepting the electoral votes, six against Arizona and seven against Pennsylvania, even after the assault on the Capitol.
I think the eight Senators should be called as witnesses to explain why they continued to object, and if they truly believed the election was “ stolen” despite the lack of evidence to support that assertion.
As they would be witnesses, they should then be ineligible to vote as a “juror “.
Assuming all the Democrats stick together and vote guilty, that reduces the number of Republicans need to vote guilty to 10 or 11, as we only need 67% of those voting to convict.
