Republican leaders in four critical states won by President-elect Joe Biden say they wont participate in a legally dubious scheme to flip their states electors to vote for President Donald Trump. Their comments effectively shut down a half-baked plot some Republicans floated as a last chance to keep Trump in the White House.
State GOP lawmakers in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have all said they would not intervene in the selection of electors, who ultimately cast the votes that secure a candidates victory. Such a move would violate state law and a vote of the people, several noted.

They don’t have any names, it’s all BS.
Republican majority state legislatures can appoint electors who will vote for Trump on December 14th.
Indeed, Trump clearly won the majority of real votes in contestable states, so if Republican majority state legislatures fail to appoint electors who will vote for Trump on December 14th, they will be complicit in insurrection.
At that point, they might as well quit and hand the offices they have to the Democrat Fraud Machine.
If the Democrat Fraud Machine is allowed to steal the Presidency, it will steal the Senate and then the House and state governments.
They’re just playing it safe. If the court cases throw out certain votes, and the outcome changes, they’ll say once again that they had no hand in it, the court forced them, etc.
AP is not a credible source.
Let ‘em say the same in 30 days, after facts are out.
The Associated Press’ attempt to play gotcha with the
president’s team is tedious at best.
As for any Republican out there right now, Trump is the
leader of your team. You are NOT! As circumstances
warrant you need to keep your options open.
SHUT UP! QUIT GIVING THE PRESS ANTI-TRUMP SOUND BITES.
Remember the ubiquitous TV and radio ads with Martin Sheen and other “stars” saying “The Founders had a brilliant idea, the Hamilton electors who could choose to vote against the popular vote in their state to save the nation from a horrible tyrant.”
Hamilton only because the anti-white Broadway hit play was number one (and the actors and crowd jeered VP Pence & Mrs.Pence).
That’s okay but protecting us from total fraud in 2020 is not?
Note again my longtime tagline with the topic that ended up being the most important factor as Nov.,2020 approached.
If some of these Republicans were on a football team and
gave made comments like this behind the head coaches back,
they other players would send them to the hospital with
mashed family jewels.
Some of our folks seem to think they have no obligation to
keep unified at times like this. That angers me.
This is propaganda similar to the fake polls - designed to suppress enthusiasm and support for Donald Trump as he fights this battle against massive voter fraud.
If true they are cowards and traitors
I knew that gambit would not get off the ground, there are too many cowards in the GOP.
Thank you for the voice of reason. Those are becoming more and more scarce.
The catch is they have to tell their constituents what their constituents want to hear to get elected. But once, elected, they go along with the DC business plan. That's all it is, viz. a business.
We are their constituents, but they look at us the way a con artist looks at a mark.
Yeah, moar BS propaganda from the DNC AssPress.
Remember the names of these scumbags if any freepers live in their districts next time they ask for your vote.
- Rusty Bowers-AZ House Leader
- Robin Vos-WI Assembly Leader
- Mike Shirkey-MI State Senate Leader
- Jake Corman-PA Senate Leader
- Kerry Benninghoff-PA House Leader
If Trump goes. So will they.
