The Republican Party has long claimed to revere the Constitution, so it’s shocking to see GOP Congress members rushing to override the people’s vote by challenging the validity of Joe Biden’s election when they meet to certify his electoral college win.
Texas Republican Chip Roy also points out that many Republicans ran on the same state ballots that are now being called fraudulent. When he forced a vote on seating those elected representatives only two Republicans still seemed worried about fraud.
If Democrats were committing election fraud why didn’t they turn state legislatures Democratic to prevent gerrymandering that makes it almost impossible for Democrats to win congressional seats in many states (including Utah)? And why not throw the Senate to the Democrats, giving Biden greater power to pass legislation?
On Wednesday too many Republicans will violate their oaths to defend the Constitution, shredding our constitutional democratic republic. The people should choose our leaders, not the other way around.
