The scattershot efforts to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory are coalescing into a movement led by top Republicans determined to exploit a manufactured crisis for broader political gains.
Nearly a dozen more GOP senators, a handful of whom will be sworn-in Sunday, have now announced they will challenge Biden’s clear Electoral College win over President Donald Trump next week during what has traditionally been a ceremonial exercise on Capitol Hill. Their gambit is doomed to fail — they have acknowledged as much — in its immediate objective, but likely to succeed in hardening the conspiracy theory-fueled, right-wing base in Trump’s thrall.
The President is, predictably, cheering on the charade. And in a taped phone conversation on Saturday, reported by The Washington Post, encouraged Georgia’s top elections official to “find” enough votes to overturn Biden’s victory in the state.
“There’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated,” Trump told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, according to the Post, adding later in the call: “All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”
Around the time Trump was working over Raffensperger, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows urged his former House colleagues to “fight back” in a Saturday night tweet.
Vice President Mike Pence — who has sought to keep a safe distance from the more inflammatory claims and behavior of fellow Republicans while subtly egging them on when it suits him — has also welcomed congressional Republicans’ challenge. He wants lawmakers to “bring forward evidence before the Congress,” his chief of staff said in a statement Saturday.
The push to cast doubt over the election result — and, in Trump’s case, pressure officials to juke the numbers — is now escalating beyond ambitious Republicans’ initial bids to curry favor with the President by idly urging on a would-be power grab. The announcement Saturday from Republican senators and senators-elect cut deeper and, framed in a maddening circular logic, argued that Congress should commission an “emergency 10-day audit” of results from “disputed states” because of the volume of “allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities.”
