Prominent Conservatives Urge State Legislatures to Appoint ‘New Electors’ Under Constitution

By Jack Phillips, The Epoch Times, December 11, 2020:

A letter from a number of prominent conservatives and Republicans called on various state legislators to “exercise their plenary power” to call up electors to the Electoral College, saying that officials in these states violated the Constitution through their orders.

The letter, posted on Dec. 10, said: “The evidence overwhelmingly shows officials in key battleground states—as the result of a coordinated pressure campaign by Democrats and allied groups—violated the Constitution, state and federal law in changing mail-in voting rules that resulted in unlawful and invalid certifications of [Joe] Biden victories.”

They contended that President Donald Trump is the rightful victor over former Vice President Joe Biden. The Epoch Times has not called a winner in the election due to outstanding lawsuits, including one from Texas filed earlier this week, challenging the results of the Nov. 3 election.

The authors of the letter singled out state legislatures in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Michigan to “exercise their plenary power under the Constitution and appoint clean slates of electors.”

Meanwhile, they said, “Both the House and Senate should accept only these clean Electoral College slates and object to and reject any competing slates in favor of [Biden].”

The letter was signed by dozens of prominent conservatives, including Judicial Watch President Thomas Fitton; Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center; Citizens United President David Bossie; Jenny Beth Martin, chairman of Tea Party Patriots Citizen Fund; William L. Walton, president of the Council for National Policy; and dozens more.

Their argument is a similar one made by President Trump’s lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, in recent days to several state Houses and Senates while presenting allegations of voter fraud and irregularities. The two said that the members of the legislature can reclaim their Constitutional power by selecting a competing slate of electors to the Electoral College, which meets Dec. 14.

It came after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court against the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Paxton argued these states violated the Constitution by making last-minute changes against voter laws, putting the entire presidential election at risk.

Several states have filed an amicus brief in support of Paxton’s lawsuit, while more than 100 U.S. House lawmakers also filed a brief to support the petition.

Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia filed a legal brief opposing the lawsuit request also on Dec. 10.

Paxton’s suit says the four key states “violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures.”

Attorneys general for the states responded on Thursday, with Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro writing that Texas is attempting to “disenfranchise millions of voters” who cast ballots in the Nov. 3 election. “The court should not abide this seditious abuse of the judicial process, and should send a clear and unmistakable signal that such abuse must never be replicated,” he added.

In the Name of the Constitution, being the Fruits of vast illegalities.THE President of the United States Senate, should refuse,to accept or count the Elector Votes from any of the 6 truant States, being that to do so would make the President and the Senate complicit in heinous Crimes in violation of His Oath of Office. Let the President of the Senate DESTROY the VOTES on SIGHT.

Let them take Him to Court and PROVE the PURITY of those Votes! Let the Court issue an ORDER for the Senate to accept FRAUDULENT VOTES which cannot be proven to be otherwise.

Good luck with that. You’ll need more than luck. I doubt most state legislators will even listen.

As much as I am a Trumper and Conservative I don’t believe the above message is authorized by the Democrat Party. YOU on the other hand are some type of goon for trying to foment violence. You could easily be from the Left or from the Right but most likely from the Weirdo Camp by trying to appeal to base raw emotions to stir feelings into violence to fit you desires.

“…the President of the Senate…shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates…and the votes shall then be counted…”
“who gets to decide which votes get counted and which do not.” 
Scott R. Anderson
Let the THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE CHALLENGE ANYONE OR ANY Court to PROVE the PURITY of those Votes! Let the Court issue a truly Criminal ORDER for the Senate to accept FRAUDULENT VOTES which cannot be proven to be otherwise.

The Democrats call out alleged “seditious abuse of the judicial process”, are they joking? Pre-election, election, and Post-Election of @realDonaldTrump was filled with Sedition at the highest levels of Government. This was his first election and this time around was no different. Then you claim Individual States do not have the Right to appeal to the Supreme Court? Democrats I live in a neighborhood of émigré Russians of older stock and YOU, Democrats remind them of why they left the USSR in the 70s and 80s. You remind them of Khrushchev, Brezhnev Putin. Once in power, and you try to fulfill your ambitions it will become clear even to the comatose and dead. Lastly, a reminder to ALL Americans, Do you know why “WE THE PEOPLE” is capitalized at the head of the Constitution? It’s because it’s all about us. No kings, Presidents Congressmen Senator We the People are the focus of all Rights and the rest work for the People of the US. @PamelaGeller

We have become two different people. The time has arrived that free states (red) withdraw their congressional delegations and secede.

Yes, it is very sad, but we must do it. We must get most States which are free red states

What makes people think that the state legislatures aren’t going to cop out also? If you watch some of these hearings, the state officials are pretty dim bulbs. And the cost of bribing them is surprisingly low. You can look it up.
