My Senator has let me down. On a positive note, we have the best Congress money can buy.

Our founders entrusted the selection of electors to the State Legislatures. But judges and governors took it away from the state legislature in violation of the federal constitution. So now it is a federal matter.

What if the House does not support a commission? Will he vote to certify anyway?

Yes, the same argument as Chip Roy except chicken Chip is opposed to the commission also.

“the Founders entrusted our elections chiefly to the states—not Congress.” There's a path for that. Each state gets exactly one vote. Go down that path. Let the states decide.

There is precedent - 1872 - electors rejected over conern of fraud:
Arkansas
Arkansas voted for the Republican candidate, Ulysses S. Grant, over Liberal Republican candidate Horace Greeley. Grant won Arkansas by a margin of 4.34%. However, due to the turbulent conditions of Reconstruction, along with various irregularities and allegations of electoral fraud, Congress rejected Arkansas's six electoral votes. Neighboring Louisiana's electoral votes were also rejected.
Louisiana
Louisiana voted for the Republican candidate, Ulysses S. Grant, over Liberal Republican candidate Horace Greeley. Grant won Louisiana by a margin of 11.38%. However, due to the turbulent conditions of Reconstruction, along with various irregularities and allegations of electoral fraud, Congress rejected Louisiana's eight electoral votes. Neighboring Arkansas's electoral votes were also rejected.
This is from Wikipedia, so it's less than perfect, I am a presidential election nerd, so I knew about this - but this is an accurate picture as I understand it, of those two states in 1872. Electoral; votes rejected on the basis of a concern of fraud.
Sen Cotton, I am VERY disappointed in you... especially since the precedent for rejecting for reasons of fraud happened in YOUR STATE.

Bullbleep! Our founders entrusted elections to the states and the electoral college and congress ( and probably the courts too) They wanted to make SURE that elections were kept honest. It’s congress’s turn to do this for us now

I wonder if the constitution thought of changing the rules to favor one candidate over another in the last 6 months...oh well I guess that’s what legislatures do...oh wait, it was done by unconstitutional bureaucrats. No time for more phony excuses. Now or never
