Excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eighty-eight state legislators from five battleground states sent a letter to Vice President Mike Pence urging him to postpone the opening of electoral votes during the Joint Session of Congress for at least 10 days.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to their letter, which was organized by Got Freedom: \u201cOn January 6, 2021, you are statutorily authorized and required under the Electoral Count Act of 1887 to preside over both houses of Congress to count and record the Presidential electoral vote count to elect the President and Vice President of the United States.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis congressionally set deadline, however, is not the supreme law of the land, and in fact must not supersede our state legislative authority under the Constitution. Moreover, the deadline is not necessitated by circumstances, especially when it truncates the fulfillment of our constitutional duties and our responsibility to the American people,\u201d they wrote, as reported by Breitbart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawmakers said that voter fraud, mismanagement by state officials, and unconstitutional laws around mail-in ballots were rampant in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Over the past two months, President Donald Trump\u2019s team has attempted to highlight allegations and sworn statements about irregularities, fraud, and what they said are unconstitutional laws.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pence, they argued, should take action during the Joint Session of Congress when members certify the electoral vote. Some GOP senators and representatives have said they will object to key states\u2019 electoral votes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTherefore, we write to ask you to comply with our reasonable request to afford our nation more time to properly review the 2020 election by postponing the January 6th opening and counting of the electoral votes for at least 10 days, affording our respective bodies to meet, investigate, and as a body vote on certification or decertification of the election. This action can be completed prior to the inauguration date, as required by the Constitution,\u201d the lawmakers said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
