House Republican Whip Steve Scalise said Sunday that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is still not the president-elect because legal challenges to election-fraud laws in key battleground states are still ongoing and a conclusion must be reached.
Scalise also said he continues to support Trump’s team in challenging the outcome of the election, despite the Electoral College vote scheduled for December 14.
In an interview on Sunday, Chris Wallace, host of “Fox News Sunday,” repeatedly urged Scalise to recognize Biden as president, but Scalise said the president has done nothing illegal by challenging the election result in a legal process. He said the election should be open to legal challenges. During Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court finally settled the case.
“There will be a final conclusion, but I think now, if you just don’t consider the fact that the millions of people want to know why in some states – big states like Florida, Texas – they are () election night before 10 o ‘clock in the evening there will be a result, and then in other states require a few days and weeks, in this a few days and a few weeks, you see a massive vote, it will plant the seeds of a lot of distrust. This has to be addressed.” “Said Scalise.
“Let the legal process work. If you want to restore the trust of millions of people who are still very frustrated and angry about what has happened, you have to make the whole [legal] system work. A president will be sworn in on January 20 th. But let’s let the legal process take care of itself.” “Mr. Scalise said in the interview.
The 2020 us presidential election is clouded by widespread fraud in a number of swing states. The Trump team and other Republicans have filed a number of lawsuits, and the mainstream media was eager to announce Biden’s victory on November 7 while the lawsuits were still pending. The president said legitimate voters, not the media, will decide the winner. The EPOCH Times earlier announced that the winner of the 2020 US presidential election would only be declared after all legal challenges had been resolved.
Technically, the president-elect is not officially elected until the electoral votes and the votes have been counted in Congress.
Electors will meet to vote on December 14. Congress will convene a joint session on January 6, 2021, to count the electoral votes submitted by the states. During this session, members of Congress may refuse to accept the electoral College results of some states if they think the results are questionable. If successful, the challenge could inspire the Lower house to elect a president.
In this case, the House of Representatives votes differently from the regular votes of the congressmen. Instead, the state delegations vote. Each state delegation has one vote, and the person who wins a majority of the state delegation’s votes becomes president. Republicans control at least 26 of the 50 state delegations, giving Trump a majority of the votes he needs to win re-election.
Republicans in both houses of congress are now threatening to challenge the electoral College results presented in swing states on January 6.
A recent Democratic resolution confirming that preparations are under way for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden was vetoed by Republican leaders in Congress. Republicans say a number of U.S. states are pursuing election-related lawsuits, and President Donald Trump has refused to admit to fraudulent election results. Republicans also said they had rejected the idea because there were some election-related procedures that needed to be completed before the president-elect could be confirmed.
