More GOP senators come out against overturning election. Inhofe: “To challenge a state’s certification, given how specific the Constitution is, would be a violation of my oath of office—that is not something I am willing to do and is not something Oklahomans would want me to do”
Tim Scott: “As I read the Constitution, there is no constitutionally viable means for the Congress to overturn an election wherein the states have certified and sent their Electors.”
Jerry Moran: “The states, consistent with the principles of federalism ... possess the sole authority to determine and submit their electors. To vote to reject these state-certified electoral votes would be to act outside the bounds of the Constitution, which I will not do.”
Sen. John Boozman: “Under the Constitution, Congress does not have the legal authority to change the outcome .... These principles are enshrined in the Constitution to ensure the American people, not the party in control of Congress, have the power to choose their president.”
