Washington, D.C. -- Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) announced his intention to formally object to the Electoral College count on January 6, 2021. He released the following statement:
“Millions of Americans believe there were consequential problems in November’s presidential election. I’ve heard from an overwhelming number of my own constituents, and they share this belief. They witnessed voter safeguards unconstitutionally removed by non-legislative officials. They saw states with no signature verification, no voter ID laws, outdated voter rolls, poll watchers denied access to the count, and ballots accepted long after Election Day had passed.”
“These patriotic Americans are being sneered at by elites on the coasts, inside the Beltway, and even in Congress itself. They are being told to sit down and shut up. The American people will never do that and neither will I. On behalf of every North Carolinian and every American who wants integrity in their elections, I will object during the Electoral College count on January 6th.”
