2005 FLASHBACK: When Democrats Supported Objecting To Electoral College Certification

Democrats have objected to certifying Electoral College wins for the presidential contests of 2000, 2004, and 2016.

In 2004, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) joined Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio) in objecting to President Bush’s electoral win in Ohio, noting issues and discrepancies with voting machines among other irregularities.

“...we have the legitimacy of our elections challenged, rightly or wrongly, by people who are not certain as to whether our processes are fair and just,” Senator Obama said.

“As we look at our election system, I think it's fair to say that there are many legitimate questions about its accuracy, about its integrity, and they're not confined to the state of Ohio,” Senator Clinton said.
