Name is mangled more than once and 56 House members object to results.
No senator objects, so Biden win here stands.
APPLAUSE.
That was Brooks from Alabama who objected and said 55 others did, too.
He also cannot pronounce the state's name.
But, to be fair, Pence nailed it!
This formally ends what was started by Adam Laxalt and the Trump campaign, abetted by the state GOP and given sustenance by outside grifters Ric Grenell and Matt Schlapp.
Laxalt should never again be taken seriously in the state he moved to to run for office. Period.
Too many Republicans in this state, including the GOP leaders of the Legislature, enabled Laxalt and Co. smearing election officials, including the GOP SOS.
They, too, should wear this forever, a scarlet letter that can only be removed (maybe) with an abject apology.
Fin.

"Let me be clear: Trump will be president for another four years. Biden will not be president."
"Even this week we have sworn testimony out of Italy that the Leonardo defense contractor used satellites to change the votes from our election in the USA from Italy. "
"Expect some sort of internet blackout or outage: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Gmail are likely going to be affected. If you don’t have alternate forms of communication...it would be a good idea to start forming them...
"Expect Trump to be inaugurated on Jan 20th!"
"The next 12 days will be something to tell the grandchildren! It’s 1776 all over again!"
Head of the GOP in Nevada's 7th largest county where Trump won 69-29.
Waiting for GOP leaders, especially those who rep Nye, to disavow this lunacy.
Veteran GOP assemblyman John Ellison of Elko gave a simply bonkers interview Weds. about what happened in DC in which he says the election was stolen and blames Antifa for the riot in the Capitol. "I think you've just seen the death of a country...It started right here in NV."

"They weren't Trump supporters. They were Antifa dressed up as Trump supporters...they've got it on video...It's not about who wins elections. It's about who steals elections. There will never be another free election in this country again if they don't do something."

"I want people to look at the NV representatives that we sent to Washington and what they've done. I'm hoping to God that we remove every one of 'em from office, and that's including all the RINOs in my own party that will be sitting in the Legislature."

"A republic that respects itself should remember where people stood in this moment, and keep those who would threaten it far from the instruments of political power.
"We must never forget."
Right on, via @UrbanAchievr. Glad others are on this bandwagon.
@UrbanAchievr I wrote about this a few weeks ago, how these people, whom @UrbanAchievr rightly calls "enemies of democracy" should be forever ostracized and kept away from power. Among those in NV: @AdamLaxalt@McDonaldNV@Wheeler4Nevada
Others, too, including most GOP lawmakers who cowered.
As the hearing begins on the latest Trump legal challenge, the state GOP, with Assemblyman @Wheeler4Nevada leading the way, held a #StopTheSteaI rally in front of the courthouse in carson City. Take a look at this Mensa convention.
@Wheeler4Nevada Here is the livestream of the court hearing on the Trump challenge to the election:
Follow @RileySnyder for live-tweets of this hearing.
This order, issued today by a judge who is the son of a very conservative state senator, is a doozy and applies to so many of ridiculous cases filed by Trump and down-ballot Repubs here. So scathing and don't forget this candidate is a lawyer.
The order says it all so well. 1/
"The evidence supporting Plaintiff’s claims do not come close to meeting that heavy burden. Plaintiff’s allegations are largely based on declarations and newspaper articles."
Declarations and newspaper articles!
Sums up the post-election case for these geniuses.
2/
"The Court would necessarily need to disregard those declarations as inadmissible hearsay...finds that Plaintiff has offered no evidence sufficient to find any error on the part of either Clark County or Registrar Gloria that would warrant granting the relief sought here."
3/
Actually, some of your colleagues -- @Wheeler4Nevada, for example -- actually are echoing these election fraud claims, which are incredibly damaging, and Assembly lackeys such as @GlenforNevada and @AndyMatthewsNV are worried about "election security."
History will remember.
Ah, I missed this story while I was on vacation:
Asked Friday if he believes Nevada’s elections were fair, Sen. Ben Kieckhefer, R-Reno, said, “I do.”
