This Electoral College Fantasy Should Be DismissedA Joe Biden elector has filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit that a congressional Republican and fake electors filed against Vice President Mike Pence. That lawsuit, which asserted that Pence has the power to ignore electoral votes and unilaterally hand President Donald Trump a second term, is just another frivolous and undemocratic episode of madness that should be dismissed forthwith, one of Colorados nine Biden electors argued on Thursday.
Alan Kennedy, an attorney and University of Colorado lecturer, called the lawsuit yet another frivolous lawsuit filed by supporters of President Trump and Vice President Pence without merit or any evidence of the alleged wide-spread election fraud.'
This last-ditch lawsuit, like dozens of others before it, seeks to overturn the election of President-elect Biden and Vice President- elect Harris, and sew [sic] unfounded doubts about legitimacy both before and after President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris are inaugurated on January 20, 2020. What is different about this suit is that it specifically seeks to overturn the votes of certified presidential electors, he said. By any measure, this lawsuit is fundamentally undemocratic and without basis in fact or law.
As Law&Crime reported earlier in the week, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and a cast of purported competing GOP electors in Arizonaa state Trump lost to Bidensued VP Pence in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, arguing that Pence has the power to select competing slates of Presidential Electors. Though there are no competing electors, Gohmert and plaintiffs claimed the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (ECA) violates the Twelfth Amendment by not allowing the VP to count uncertified votes cast by Trumps slate of shadow electors.

This "lawsuit" will go nowhere.
However these people will ID themselves as the first Repukes to be voted out of office in 2022.
