Congress Certifies Bush's Win After Protest

"The rare objection to vote certification, the first filed in decades, forced the House and Senate to halt their joint session, usually a routine and ceremonial affair. Each chamber then debated the objection, and rejected it, the Senate by a 74-1 vote, the House 267-31. The state-by-state certification was completed a few hours later. "
Boxer and Tubby Jones should be forced to park cars for Congress for a week, just for wasting everyone's time. I especially love the 74-1 smackdown that Boxer got from her colleagues.
But one of Ohio's senators, Republican Mike DeWine, called the complaints "wild, incoherent and completely unsubstantiated." Several lawmakers in both chambers noted that Ohio votes had been recounted and the results certified by bipartisan local election boards.
Boo-hoo, Babs. Let. It. Go.
