STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – State Representative Mark Finchem has introduced HCR 2033, a concurrent resolution calling for the elections of Maricopa, Pima and Yuma Counties to be set aside based on clear and convincing evidence that the elections in those counties were irredeemably compromised.

Statement from Representative Finchem:

“The circumstances surrounding these elections undermine voter confidence in the election system, moreover, they ultimately translate into doubts about election integrity.

“The questions first raised over a year ago about the legitimacy of the 2020 General Election persist. Evidence and testimony collected since November 3, 2020, has reached the point of clear and convincing and is now in the hands of the Arizona Attorney General for action. Citations of various elements justifying the Resolution can be found in the body of the Resolution. We have debunked the ‘baseless claims’ narrative promoted by the propaganda pushing media and are now on to the business of providing specific relief to the People.

“While some may say there is no valid constitutional, nor statutory grounds for such an action, they clearly are disregarding longstanding jurisprudence. Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution provides, in relevant part, ‘Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.’ U.S. Const. Art. II, § 1, cl. 2 (emphasis added). The Supreme Court has described the constitutional authority of the state legislatures to determine the manner of choosing electors as ‘plenary.’ See McPherson v. Blecker, 146 U.S. 1, 35 (1892); see also Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98, 104 (2000).

“The Supreme Court of the United States has even noted that, ‘whatever provisions may be made by statute, or by the state constitution, to choose electors by the people, there is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time.’ McPherson, 146 U.S. at 35 (emphasis added, quoting with approval Sen. R., 1st Sess. 43rd Cong. No. 395); see also Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. at 104 (‘The State, of course, after granting the franchise in the special context of Article II, can take back the power to appoint electors’).

“One significant common law principle is that actions taken as the result of fraud or illegality are void ab initio, and can be rescinded. See, e.g., United States v. Bradley, 35 U.S. 343, 360 (1836) (citing Pigot’s Case, 11 Co. Lit. 27b (1614)). This principle has been applied to reverse a fraudulent election even after the election was certified and the illegally certified candidate was sworn in and sitting in the legislature. Marks v. Stinson, No. CIV. A. 93-6157, 1994 WL 47710, at *15-*16 (E.D. Pa. Feb. 18, 1994), vacated in part, 19 F.3d 873 (3d Cir. 1994), affirmed after remand, 37 F.3d 1487 (1994).

“That there is no process under current law for the Arizona Legislature to ‘decertify’ an election, does not mean that the Legislature cannot provide a remedy for outcome-determinative fraud and illegality in the conduct of the election, exercising powers it has directly from Article II of the federal Constitution, for as the Supreme Court stated in McPherson, ‘there is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power [to appoint electors] at any time, for it can neither be taken away nor abdicated.’

“In the case of Maricopa, Pima and Yuma Counties, the fact that there is evidence showing illegal acts occurred, whether by intent or omission does not matter, the margin of error exceeds the margin of victory. If we are a nation governed by the ‘rule of law,’ as we so often espouse, then violations of the law must have consequences. In that regard, the 2020 General Election is irredeemably compromised, and it is impossible to name a clear winner of the contest.”

Resolution?

Do “resolutions” have any legal authority?

These reps might also note that the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. States Constitution reserves powers not granted to the federal government to the states. Thus, if a state’s executive branch might, either due to error or corruption, certify a fraudulent election, the state’s legislature can and may decertify it due to fraud, error, or mistake.

So now the AZ reps join the WI rep who filed the resolution to decertify WI’s elections. Which state will decertify first?

Let them pass the resolution in both houses, and let SCOTUS decide the issue upon a petition for writ of quo warranto.

I should note that if the vote in these three counties is decertified, than the U.S. Senate election should also be void. If so, then bye-bye Dem Senate, at least until Murkowski, Romeny, or Collins decides to switch parties to save the globalists’ agenda.

In a perfect world.

In this world there is a whole lot of push-back, lies and deceit by those with bad intentions.

It sure would be pleasing to see the truth admitted somewhere.

Easy for you to say.

It takes a long time to gather evidence for such a Herculean task.

Not that the courts have the courage to do what's appropriate.

Maricopa County, AZ hasn't voted for a democ'Rat presidential candidate since Truman. A few weeks before the election, Biden with Kamala showed up for a rally ... it attracted no one to the extent a local Pheonix TV correspondent remarked on air 'there's no one here'.
Trump in contrast had a rally in Maricopa County a few days before the November 2020 election and literally 10's of thousands were in attendance.
I've pointed these discrepancies out numerous times in this forum, going back to post election November 2020.
Further, the AZ democ'Rat secretary of state, George Soros sponsored Katie Hobbs assumed office January 2019. Nothing wrong with this picture ...

Why bother?

What has Tucker AKA Fox News said about this?

Don't they remember? The Fox News Election Decisions Desk made the Arizona for Biden call, nation wide, before the polls were closed.

The patriots at Fox News wouldn't pull any election shenanigans in favor of Biden/Harris against Trump would they? < /sarcasm >

Fox News Elections Decisions Desk: You vote, we decide.

"November/December 2020 was the time for this."

I agree. And in fact, scrutiny should be standard practice, especially since Democrats continue to display a will to commit fraud. I'd go further than that and say the modern Democrats and their ancillaries are a racketeering organization writ large, and deserve to be treated as such, but that's another argument for another thread.

But just taking the step of admission that there had been fraud, on the record, is a big deal. It lays a groundwork to deal with systemic corruption in the election process.
