In the midst of the parliamentary session to count the electoral votes on January 6, 2005, Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer stood up to protest the victory of George W. Bush.

According to the rules in the 1887 Constitution and the Electoral Vote Counting Act, the session of parliament confirming the results of the presidential election on January 6 after election day will stop if a senator and a senator

Boxer, then a Democratic senator for California, said Democrat Stephanie Tubbs Jones, for Ohio, who died in 2008, persuaded her to join the challenge.

One of the most noteworthy anomalies is the excessively long lines of people that make voters wait long hours at polling stations, mostly in metropolitan areas where Democrats dominate.

Since the Electoral College Vote Counting Act was passed in 1887, this is only the second time that MPs from both houses have unanimously opposed the electoral votes in one state, following the North Carolina state controversy.

Before Boxer and Tubbs Jones filed an objection, Bush's victory by a 118,000 vote against Democrat John Kerry in Ohio, the state that decided the 2004 election, had sparked much skepticism and became the owner.

The efforts of the two female Democrats forced members of the Senate and the House of Representatives to stop the joint session, return to two separate parliaments, located on opposite sides of the parliament building, to discuss the petition of

"This decision to protest is not rooted in the hope or intention of overturning the president's victory, but the necessary, timely and appropriate opportunity to examine and overcome the most valuable process in democracy.

"I don't want to disturb my friends, but maybe it's worth some time clarifying these issues. Many Americans are bleeding all over the world, including many from the state of

Despite her persuasive efforts, the Senate debate ended after about an hour, with 74 people upholding the electoral votes in Ohio and Boxer being the only one to vote no.

MPs from both houses then gather again and complete the process of tallying the electoral votes.

Republicans once said Boxer and Tubbs Jones' attempts to appeal the results of the Ohio elections were "crap."

"On that day of counting, I was a very nasty man in the Senate. People probably just wanted to block my throat. However, it was one of my proudest moments, albeit alone."

A similar scenario most likely plays out in the US congress on January 6, 2021, after President Donald Trump openly called on allies to oppose President-elect Joe Biden's victory in battlefield states.

A group of Republicans who are ready to file a complaint at parliament tally is electoral and needs at least one more senator to support their efforts.

However, Boxer notes the situation this year is completely different from hers.
