Nancy Pelosi's hand-picked lead impeachment manager attempted to overturn the fair and free election of 2016

Nancy Pelosi announced her hand-picked impeachment team last night, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland:

Tonight, I have the solemn privilege of naming the Managers of the impeachment trial of Donald Trump.@RepRaskin@RepDianaDeGette@RepCicilline@JoaquinCastrotx@RepSwalwell@RepTedLieu@StaceyPlaskett@RepDean@RepJoeNegusehttps://t.co/6yMWMEnBTW

This would be the same Rep. Raskin that attempted to overturn the fair and free election of 2016:

ICYMI: I joined @USProgressives in raising voter suppression & objecting to #ElectoralCollege votes. https://t.co/rPRjurn6IG

Wow. This sounds kind of familiar. So he just wanted to start a debate on voter irregularities? From The Nation:

A number of members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus hoped to open a debate about the certification of Donald Trump’s Electoral College majority and about concerns that have arisen regarding an election in which Democrat Hillary Clinton received almost 3 million more votes than the Republican nominee.

Unfortunately, there was no debate because no senator agreed to join in the objections from the Democratic members of the House.
