They are announcing that they plan on objecting to the electoral college votes. He is standing up for each legal vote cast in the state of Missouri.<\/p>\n<h2>Did Trump Win?<\/h2>\n<p>Smith enumerates the numbers from the November election. He compares Trump getting over 74 million voters compared with Obama&#8217;s 69 million. Trump won 2586 counties and Obama won 873 counties. Biden, on the other hand, only won 527 counties. Something isn&#8217;t adding up. The Republican party gained seats in the House and didn&#8217;t lose people in the Senate. Why would citizens vote that way and not for Trump?<\/p>\n<h2>Outcome?<\/h2>\n<p>These Missouri representatives have joined lawsuits, called for a Special Counsel, and demanded accountability and integrity. Even realizing Representative NancyPelosi is again the speaker of the House, she is only the speaker.<\/p>\n<p>For your complete reading of Rep.
