Kris Kobach, former Secretary of state of Kansas and chairman of the Republican Party, told reporters on Tuesday that legislatures in some Republican-majority states may challenge congressional voter certification on January 6.
In an interview with Breitbart News’ Alex Marlow on Tuesday, Mr Kobak said that because the Us Supreme Court had not taken up the big Texas case, people were now focused on the January 6 confirmation vote for congressional electors. At that point, members of Congress are likely to raise objections, which seems to be the plan of some states.
“You see some Republican legislatures… Talking about submitting a set of Republican electoral college names. There will probably be a big debate in Congress about whether to accept electoral college votes from states that have changed the rules of the election without going through the (state) legislature.” Kobak said.
“It’s not over yet,” Mr. Kobak added. “If something does happen and we suddenly have a big controversy and this thing gets supported in Congress, it’s going to start to look like the Hayes-Tilden election of 1876.”
The 1876 U.S. presidential election was one of the most controversial in history. The eventual contenders were Rutherford Hayes (Republican) and Samuel Tilden (Democrat). Four states (Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina and Oregon) had a total of 20 electoral votes in the balance. After a contentious post-election process, Hayes declared the winner.
Also, the 2020 U.S. presidential election results so far available, on Dec. 14 states in the electoral college vote, there are at least seven states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and new Mexico, rare threw two sets of electoral votes, namely the state elected by the electoral college vote for Joe biden, the republican congressional electoral college would “alternative” vote for a Trump.
Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign, told Fox News on Sunday that alternative electors from disputed states also sent votes to Congress on the same day. This suggests that they do not recognise the results of their states’ elections.
Trump himself has repeatedly said the election is far from over and that he will continue to fight for fairness.
Also in the interview, Mr Kobak mentioned a recent case in which Texas sued four swing states for electoral irregularities. He said the Supreme Court had “abdicated its duty” by refusing to hear the case.
“There is a very clear statement in Article 3 of our Constitution that when two states are parties, the Supreme Court shall hear the case.” Kobak believes that Texas would almost certainly win the case if the Supreme Court heard the issues raised.
‘Unfortunately,’ Mr. Kobak concluded, ‘the seven have shirked their constitutional responsibilities, and they don’t want to be among them.’ “You have to stick to the words of the Constitution,” he stressed. The constitutionality of these four states is quite clear, but the Supreme Court is not talking about it.
