Lawmakers in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have all said they wont intervene in selecting electors.
Republican leaders in four critical states won by President-elect Joe Biden say they wont participate in a legally dubious scheme to flip their states electors to vote for President Donald Trump. Their comments effectively shut down a half-baked plot some Republicans floated as a last chance to keep Trump in the White House.
State GOP lawmakers in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have all said they would not intervene in the selection of electors, who ultimately cast the votes that secure a candidates victory. Such a move would violate state law and a vote of the people, several noted.
I do not see, short of finding some type of fraud which I havent heard of anything I dont see us in any serious way addressing a change in electors, said Rusty Bowers, Arizonas Republican House speaker, who says hes been inundated with emails pleading for the legislature to intervene. They are mandated by statute to choose according to the vote of the people.
