Top Democrats have said they won’t commit to certifying the election if Donald Trump wins, Axios reports.
Among the Democrats who spoke to Axios were Jamie Raskin, who denied Trump won the 2016 election and objected to Trump’s electors in 2017.
If Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” Raskin said. Before adding, “I definitely don’t assume that.”
“Democrats don’t engage in election fraud and election fabrication.”
In February of this year, Raskin said that Congress could invalidate a Trump victory this year, even at the risk of “civil war.”
House Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern also told Axios that Democrats would only certify a Trump victory “assuming everything goes the way we expect it to… We have to see how it all happens.”
McGovern also objected to Trump’s electors in 2017.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), who objected to George W. Bush’s victory in 2005, said she did not “know what kind of shenanigans he [Trump] is planning… We would have to, in any election… make sure that all the rules have been followed.”
Breitbart remind us that the Democrats have a history of denying election outcomes, having done so more than 150 times.
Every Republican presidential victory in the last two decades has been contested by the Democrats, including senior figures like Hillary Clinton, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee.
Indeed, every single Democrat president since 1977 has cast doubt on the legitimacy of US elections. President Joe Biden, for example, expressed doubts about the 2022 midterms.
