The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society has lodged a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia that calls for the legislatures in five states to be permitted to certify electors before the congressional count occurs.
Those five states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to a press release from the Amistad Project.
"The lawsuit argues that current federal and local statutes interfere with state legislatures' constitutional right to certify Presidential electors, in a direct violation of separation of powers. It also cites an Amistad Project white paper which illustrates how the Electoral College vote deadline of December 14 is arbitrary and does not apply to the contested states," the press release says. "Currently, state law and the executive branch refusal have prevented state legislatures from meeting as a body to review, investigate and debate the method in which the election was conducted."

Wait a minute.
These states electors have already voted... WHO IN HELL CERTIFIED THEM?
If it was not the legislature then... there’s a big problem.
Phil Kline knows these states have Republican majority legislatures and he’s trying to force them to make a political commitment in public rather than hiding behind the state bureaucrats. He knows these folks would get primaried out of their jobs if they caved in to the steal.
Good luck with the long shot.
Why do the legislatures think they need ‘permission’? Too spineless without political cover from the compromised courts?
These legislatures in fives state are already "permitted" to certify electors before the congressional count.
This lawsuit only adds more to the false claim that they are not.
I'm against it.
It’s sickening that most of these states that are in question with a plethora of fraud that is killing the country had majorities of REPUBLICANS at various levels within the states.
Responsibility under federal law trumps state law in regard to special sessions.
The second set of electors voted, but were never certified... which is why that show will never go anywhere.
