On Nov. 14, Trump campaign counsel Jenna Ellis said on Newsmax TV that President Trump is “very committed to protecting free and fair elections” and not just using the courts to win elections.
“We have to make sure that we don’t certify any state result until we know that it’s a legitimate result, and if we don’t get that result, then we have to make sure that we challenge that result and ask the courts to provide a meaningful remedy,” Ellis said on Saturday’s “America Right Now.”
One of the most noteworthy challenges concerns the Dominion voting system, which remains one of the main focuses of the legal team’s review of the election results, she told host Tom Basile.
“The Constitution provides for these alternatives, and when your election is compromised – whether it’s on a local level or a national level – the American people need to understand that our Founding Fathers were so smart to anticipate that there could be corruption, that there could be fraud, and they incorporated different mechanisms into the Constitution to provide for these different scenarios and to make sure that people’s rights are not taken away,” Ellis said.
“So we’re just following the process. We’re following the constitution. I think with (former New York) Mayor [Rudy] Giuliani now in charge of this, you’re going to see a lot of cohesiveness. Our team is absolutely united on this issue.”
The Dec. 14 electoral college vote remains the most important day in the presidential election process, as required by the Constitution. As constitutional expert Alan Dershowitz noted earlier in Newsmax’s “Saturday Report,” on that date, if the results remain in dispute, the election may ultimately be handed over to the state delegations in the House of Representatives to decide, with the Republicans taking the lead in the election. 26-23-1 holds the majority.
“The mainstream media rushed to crown Joe Biden,” Ellis said. “They’re trying to ignore all of our very important legal challenges.
“They don’t want the truth to come out, because they want Biden to be president whether or not he actually wins the election. And it’s not the Trump campaign’s fault that we’re now (just) trying to get the truth out there.
“That’s the fault of the mainstream media and the fake news, who are desperate to announce the results.”
Ellis signaled the direction of Trump’s campaign goals, saying that he remains determined to find the “legitimate winner” of the election and uphold the will of the American people.
“The point is not to change the outcome of the election, and I want to be very clear about that,” Ellis said. “It’s about making sure that every legitimate vote is counted, and counted fairly. If that affects the outcome, then of course that’s a big problem.
“But one thing that should be very clear to everyone is that whoever is declared the winner should be the legitimate winner.”
“The goal here is not to campaign,” she concluded. “The goal here is to make sure that every legitimate vote is counted and counted accurately.”
