It is in America’s enduring national interest that we do not ignore what we know to be wrong with the 2020 elections.
The U.S. Constitution clearly states that it is the responsibility of the state legislatures — not courts — to direct the manner in which members of the Electoral College are selected.
Last Wednesday, I recorded my objection to two states where this provision of the Constitution was violated by courts that changed election procedure without legislative approval.
In Pennsylvania, the State Supreme Court extended the ballot deadline in violation of state statute. In Arizona, the Federal District Court changed election registration deadlines in violation of state statute, letting tens of thousands of voters to inappropriately cast votes.
I recognize the COVID pandemic necessitated some election changes. These election laws, however, should have been changed by state legislatures, consistent with the Constitution.
This occurred in California last year when I was forced to sue the Governor after he violated the U.S. Constitution by unilaterally changing election laws via executive order. We were successful, and the he and the CA Legislature then appropriately codified his executive order.
My colleagues and I spoke out in support of ballot integrity and the sacred right to vote. The process is now complete and a peaceful and orderly transition of power will occur, as it should.
