Don't Certify the Votes: Go on record with your Senator
This list of 10 Senators are those which I hope to focus lobbying efforts to try and find at least one to protest the certification of the final vote tally in congress.
I've set-up the thread with a topic for each Senator, so we can keep track of any feedback from the Senators.
I've started a Thread at the forum on DU Here:
