Electoral College Votes

Editor, Times-Union:

It comes as no surprise that Walorksi, Banks and Braun are joining in today's effort to subvert the will of the people by objecting to the certification of electoral college votes in states where Trump lost. Their own elections were apparently fine. It seems that only where Trump lost were there problems. They all know full well that the election was probably the most secure in American history. They care not for the truth, but, true to form, care only about pleasing a consistently dishonest and increasingly unhinged president. They care not for our great democracy that millions died to defend. They care only about pleasing a failed president and pandering to his far right base, the base they're counting on for re-election.

If losing the House, the Senate and the presidency under his watch doesn't constitute a failed presidency, I don't know what does. Fortunately, more rational and honest heads will prevail today when their efforts fail and Joe Biden's win is certified by Congress.

We should never forget that Walorksi, Banks and Braun supported Trump in his treasonous attempt to overthrow the election.  They should all be voted out of office.
