Congressman Louis Ghomert (R-TX), along with Arizona’s 11 Republican electors, have brought a lawsuit against Vice-President Mike Pence. The suit seeks to compel Pence to reject Electoral College votes from states where massive allegations of election fraud exist.

Ghomert is seeking an injunction against Pence accepting such votes, and requested such a motion be granted by no later than tomorrow. He is also asking for an expedited hearing date by no later than Monday, Jan 4. to allow for an opportunity for either party to appeal.

Congress is set to meet in a joint session on Wednesday, Jan. 6 to formally accept votes cast in the Electoral College. It is only after such acceptance that a president- and vice-president-elect are lawfully designated.

Ghomert, et al. attest Pence as current vice-president has the sole power under the Constitution to accept or reject Electoral College votes.

In the court filing plaintiffs reveal that they attempted to reach a compromise with Pence on the issue but could not, indicating Pence either may not agree with their assessment or may be unwilling to carry it out.
