Rep. Duncan Plans to Object to Electoral College Certification of Biden
South Carolina’s 3rd District Congressional Representative Jeff Duncan said Wednesday afternoon he will join numerous colleagues and formally object to the Electoral College certification of Joe Biden as the presidential victor by the House of Representatives. President Trump will not concede the results of the November 3rd election, and on January 6th members of Congress will meet for the certification process, which is expected to be challenged by possibly as many as 100 or more members of the House.
Here is the statement issued by Rep. Duncan on Wednesday afternoon:
“I swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States as a Member of Congress, and with that oath comes the vital role of ensuring the legality and integrity of our free and fair election system.
The 2020 election saw unprecedented institutional issues like states changing their voting systems in violation of their state constitutions, unelected bureaucrats changing election law instead of lawmakers themselves, poll watchers prohibited from doing their jobs, failure to properly scrutinize the validity of mail-in voting, and the list goes on.
We need to shed light on the issues that took place during the 2020 election to preserve our electoral system for generations to come. Our mission is simple: Count every legal vote, throw out every illegal vote, and investigate every irregularity and allegation. All Americans should be on board with this mission.
On January 6, 2021, I plan to object to the Electoral College certification from states that experienced these unprecedented issues like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
I plan to object for the people of the Third District of South Carolina and the millions of Americans who are demanding transparency into the 2020 election. We the People know this is a pivotal decision for our great country. May God bless the United States of America.”
