I love that they are explaining the mechanics of how our elections work. States generally give their electoral votes to the person who wins the popular vote in the states (although some states are trying to change that now).

HCR

What does it mean that "our institutions held"? The people in local offices did the right thing. But that's no longer true. Look at New Mexico officials refusing to certify the recent election.

HCR

NM official who participated in January 6 insurrection refused to certify based on "his gut feeling." There goes the system that "held" in 2020.

The Big Lie is corrupting our democratic institutions. The threat is on-going.

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) will run today's proceedings.

HCR

The effort to overturn the election at the state level is serious, all of it aimed at January 6.

When you hear tapes, remember Trump knew his allegations were nonsense.

HCR

(Editorial: His MO was always to assert nonsense to lay groundwork for what he was going to do anyway. See
@jeffpearlman
on his football antics.)

Reiterating that Trump knew full well there was no evidence that the election was fraudulent.

(Editorial: Did the Stepiens ever have their baby?)

HCR

Gabriel Sterling's furious press conference. Sigh. Now that violence has been mainstreamed.

HCR

Cheney begs people to listen to the evidence, not to divide along political lines.

HCR

Schiff is up. Reiterates that Trump lost, but fought to hold onto power, by stopping the vote count, stopping states from certifying the election by filing frivolous lawsuits. Then threatened state legislators to back him.

HCR

Wanted states to send two slates of electors so Pence could count them in. When legislators wouldn't, did a sham process they sent in to Congress anyway.

HCR

Likely conspiracy to defraud the United States.

HCR

Trump targeted not just Pence, but every level of our elections. Needed those state slates so Pence could count them in. All of it based in a lie. Barr said "bullshit."

HCR

The Big Lie is "a dangerous cancer on the body politic." Leaves us with nothing but violence to settle elections.

HCR

Dangerous and escalating pressure on elections officials, including local workers, whose lives were turned upside down.
