To nobody’s surprise Democrats freaked out after learning multiple Republican lawmakers plan to object to the Jan. 6th, 2021 electoral vote certification. Democrats have blasted the Republicans, claiming the act will set a dangerous precedent and accusing GOP members of acting unconstitutionally. However, Democrats have now conveniently forgotten the multiple elections where they objected to certifying the Electoral College results. Democrats objected during the 2000, 2004, and 2016 presidential elections all of which were run by Republicans.

In a report from The Daily Wire:

For the elections of 2000 and 2016, several House Democrats objected to the certification of the results, but were not being joined by any senators. In the case of the 2004 election, however, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer (CA) objected to President George W. Bush’s electoral win.

Sen. Boxer and Democratic Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs objected to Bush’s 2004 electoral votes in Ohio, Fox News reported. “That forced the chambers to leave their joint session and debate separately for two hours on whether to reject Ohio’s electoral votes. Neither did. But the objection by Boxer and Tubbs serves as a modern precedent for what is likely to happen in Congress on Jan. 6.”

On Jan. 6, 2017, PBS reported at the time, “House Democrats objected to the votes from at least 10 states, raising issues of voter suppression as well as American intelligence showing that Russia tried to sway the election in favor of Trump. In each case, their objections were denied because they didn’t have the support of any senators.”

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters (D) even pleaded for a senator to join her in objecting, PBS noted. “Is there one United States senator who will join me in this letter of objection?” Waters urged, to no avail.

Over 100 Republicans are expected to object to the upcoming vote certification.
