More than 100 state legislators from contested battleground states have asked Vice President Mike Pence to delay by 10 days the congressional certification of the elections in their states so they can have more time to investigate irregularities and illegalities.
"We write to ask you to comply with our reasonable request to afford our nation more time to properly review the 2020 election by postponing the January 6th opening and counting of the electoral votes for at least 10 days, affording our respective bodies to meet, investigate, and as a body vote on certification or decertification of the election," one letter to Pence signed by 88 state Republican legislators read. "This action can be completed prior to the inauguration date, as required by the Constitution." That letter attached an appendix listing irregularities and illegalities in the battleground states where Trump has contested the election results showing Biden the winner.
The appendix, the lawmakers wrote, "Provides evidence of a coordinated and structured multi-state effort to undermine state law protecting election integrity." "We intend on fulfilling our oaths of office by properly investigating and determining whether the election should be certified, or decertified, by our respective state legislatures," the letter added.
"Additional time must be afforded for the legislatures to meet and for state legislators to fulfill their constitutional duties." That letter was organized by a 501(c)(4) group called Got Freedom after state legislators had a private call with Trump over the weekend to brief the president on their concerns.
Phill Kline, a former state attorney general who works with Got Freedom and the separate Amistad Project that has filed election challenge in several states, applauded the letter.
Wisconsin State Rep. Joe Sanfelippo told Just the News he signed the large group letter because there are at least three mass illegalities that occurred during the Wisconsin election that have been confirmed since Nov. 3, all instances in which state officials made election changes that were not approved by the Legislature.
Another 200,000 voters were not cleared from voter rolls as required by the law and done in prior elections, and state officials also gave permission for some counties in large, urban Democratic areas permission to alter and cure inaccurate ballots without going back to voters.
