Arizona state lawmakers, in the wake of a marathon hearing on election fraud yesterday, are now calling for a resolution to hold back the state’s Electoral College votes.
“We are clawing our Electoral College votes back, we will not release them,” Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem (R) said. “That’s what I’m calling on our colleagues in both the House and Senate to do—exercise our plenary authority under the U.S. Constitution.
“There is a legal brief out there that says we are not tethered to state statute when it comes to this one question…A simple majority can call the House and Senate back, and in a day can pass a resolution and cause those electoral votes to basically be held. And it is binding—I’ll see y’all in court,” he added.
Attorney for President Trump, Jenna Ellis, presented the legislators with U.S. Supreme Court precedent yesterday that shows state legislatures have “exclusive power to direct the manner in which the electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed.” That power is codified by the U.S. Constitution, Ellis showed.
