19 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are urging an election fraud hearing by January 6

On Thursday, 19 members of the House of Representatives called on congressional leaders, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to hold election-fraud hearings before a joint session in January.

“Under the Constitution and federal regulations, Congress is responsible for resolving all federal election disputes involving the president, Senate, and House of Representatives,” representative Mo Brooks tweeted On Tuesday, announcing the news. Mr Brooks recently said he would challenge the electoral College results of some states during the joint session on January 6th.

The letter, written by Ms. Brooks and signed by 19 House Republicans, was sent to the heads of several committees in the House and Senate.

Congressmen asked the chairman of the congressional panel “hearing” immediately, “the research about the election on November 3, all charges of illegal behavior and the systemic problems affecting the electoral system”, and listen to the opinions of the experts to provide solution “of fraud and illegal vote way, restore public confidence in the United States could hold free and fair elections”.

In her letter, Brooks noted that the 2020 election involves numerous lawsuits alleging voter fraud or illegal voting, which could be the subject of a live debate when the electoral votes are counted in a joint session of Congress on January 6.

“Federal courts and the Supreme Court have failed to try, hold substantive evidentiary hearings, and refuse to rule on the merits of dozens of lawsuits alleging voter fraud, illegal voting, and election theft,” he wrote.

Citing the election provision of Article 1, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, Brooks pointed out that Congress is the body that regulates when, where and how federal officials are to be elected. He says state legislatures have the power to determine when, where and how elections are held if they do not conflict with congress’s laws.
