Thank you, Senator!
This afternoon Barbara Boxer lodged a formal protest in the nation’s capitol that the Ohio votes “were not, under all known circumstances, regularly given” in the November election.
By law, a protest signed by members of the House and Senate requires both chambers to meet separately for up to two hours to consider it. Lawmakers are allowed to speak for no more than five minutes each.
The Senate session lasted just over an hour and ended when the chamber voted 74-1 to uphold Ohio’s votes, with Boxer the lone vote. The House used its full time and followed suit, 267-31.
