“...to take a pledge...”????
Definition of pledge: A solemn binding promise to do, give, or refrain from doing something: signed a pledge never to reveal the secret; a pledge of money to a charity.
Now it is impossible to “pledge” that the election was accurate. It is possible to be a wuss and pledge to never say a word about the election. So the idiot is really trying to get businesses to forswear their 1st amendment rights, among other things.
election was accurate (should have said)
