Prominent Conservatives Urge State Legislatures to Appoint ‘New Electors’ Under Constitution
Epoch Times ^ | 12/11/2020 | Jack Phillips

A letter from a number of prominent conservatives and Republicans called on various state legislators to “exercise their plenary power” to call up electors to the Electoral College, saying that officials in these states violated the Constitution through their orders.

The letter, posted on Dec. 10, said: “The evidence overwhelmingly shows officials in key battleground states—as the result of a coordinated pressure campaign by Democrats and allied groups—violated the Constitution, state and federal law in changing mail-in voting rules that resulted in unlawful and invalid certifications of [Joe] Biden victories.”

They contended that President Donald Trump is the rightful victor over former Vice President Joe Biden. The Epoch Times has not called a winner in the election due to outstanding lawsuits, including one from Texas filed earlier this week, challenging the results of the Nov. 3 election.

The authors of the letter singled out state legislatures in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Michigan to “exercise their plenary power under the Constitution and appoint clean slates of electors.”

Meanwhile, they said, “Both the House and Senate should accept only these clean Electoral College slates and object to and reject any competing slates in favor of [Biden].”

The letter was signed by dozens of prominent conservatives, including Judicial Watch President Thomas Fitton; Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center; Citizens United President David Bossie; Jenny Beth Martin, chairman of Tea Party Patriots Citizen Fund; William L. Walton, president of the Council for National Policy; and dozens more.

Their argument is a similar one made by President Trump’s lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, in recent days to several state Houses and Senates while presenting allegations of voter fraud and irregularities. The two said that the members of the legislature can reclaim their Constitutional power by selecting a competing slate of electors

Republican state legislators need to realize a Biden presidency will convert tens of millions of illegal aliens into citizen voters that will vote the Republican scaredycats out of office come 2022 and thereafter.

The Team Biden timebomb has ticked down from 40 to 3. Cut the wire now, while you can save yourselves and us too.

Agreed, but what's the significance of "40 to 3"?

Is there some reason why the future of our entire nation should not be decided by vote fraud four Democrat cities?

The number of days between the general election and the electoral college vote is 40 days.

Is that in the Constitution? I can't find it? Thanks.

There is no state legislature that will do this because they as a group do not have the integrity nor the backbone to do anything that rocks the boat. This is especially true now that the Supreme Court has rejected the Texas suit giving these weak “law makers” cover.

“Is that in the Constitution? I can’t find it? Thanks.”

It’s in the Constitution that Congress has the authority to set the date the Electors meet and vote. To change the date would require both the House and Senate to agree.
