Sheila Jackson Lee Is Still Questioning the Validity of Trump's Win
Houston Press - 6 hours ago
Lee was one of a handful of Democratic members of Congress who objected to the final tally of the vote on the grounds of voter suppression and the use of electors who she says may not have been qualified to serve in the Electoral College.

And since Houston's own U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee is always on hand for this sort of theater, she was right in the middle of one last attempt to keep President-elect Donald Trump from being the signed, sealed and delivered 45th president of the United States, according to Politico.
For most people, the 2016 presidential election was over when Trump shocked the hell out of just about everyone and won the presidency back in November. However, technically the election was only over once all of Congress convened to certify the Electoral College votes in the last step, which has to take place before his inauguration on January 20.
Congress, presided over by Joe Biden, president of the Senate, certified the election results Friday afternoon.
