The Five Texas Republicans who ignored pleas to postpone Jan 6, 2021 Electoral Count

 As "first-in-the-nation" 2022 primaries get underway in Texas, County Examiner is revisiting and publishing a much needed reminder of how every member of the Texas delegation to Congress voted on January 6, 2021. 

Who among the Texas Republicans voted to fulfill their oath of office by supporting the then and now, well-founded pleas of election maladministration in the November 2020 Presidential election? Which Texas Republicans had the courage to reject the deception and threats heaped upon battleground state legislators by their own state executives and local officials desperate to prevent investigations into election law violations? 

And who among the Texas Republicans joined the Texas Democrats & totally ignored their Constitutional duty, their responsibility to the American people & their colleagues in Congress by turning a blind eye to admitted violations of explicit elections laws enacted by judicial fiat or state legislatures in violation of separation of powers? (Go here, here, here, here for details)

Texas primary voters should take this information and factor it into your decision-making process as you vote tomorrow through March 1.

Taken from a Washington Post electoral college count tracker these are the five members of the Texas delegation who did the latter--joined Mike Pence, the Democrats and together ignored the pleas of their colleagues in Congress who only wanted more time for their battleground state legislators to meet and fulfill their constitutional duties:

• Senator John Cornyn (who is not on the 2022 ballot)
• Representative Dan Crenshaw - TX CD2
• Reporesentative Tony Gonzales - TX CD23
• Representative Chip Roy - TX CD21
• Representative Van Taylor - TX CD3
• Representative Michael McCaul - TX CD10

Hold them accountable at the ballot box. They are in part a key reason why Joe Biden is in office today.

President Trump skewers RINO Mitch McConnell for failing to stop the fraudulent 2020 election from certification

President Trump skewered RINO U.S. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell yesterday, in part for doing nothing to stop the most fraudulent election in American history.

Released in a tweet from the Save America PAC through spokesperson Liz Harrington the statement can now be linked directly to the January 4, 2021 letter written by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania state senators and addressed to Mitch McConnell himself.

The existence of that letter was revealed during an January 28, 2022 episode of Steve Bannon's show "War Room", which County Examiner wrote about here. 

The letter urged then U.S. Senate Majority Mitch McConnell and  and Republican Leader of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy to delay certification of the Electoral College based on violations of both the U.S. and Pennsylvania Constitutions. 

As CE noted yesterday the letter was also sent to all Republican members of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.

One such violation at both the Commonwealth and Federal level pertained to the passage of Act 77-the law which allowed for no-excuse mail voting, which a Commonwealth court struck down as unconstitutional.

In its decision, the court noted that while the law did expand access to the ballot, the changes to mail voting laws require a constitutional amendment.

 

NEW!

President Donald J. Trump:

"Mitch McConnell does not speak for the Republican Party, and does not represent the views of the vast majority of its voters. He did nothing to fight for his constituents and stop the most fraudulent election in American history. And he does... pic.twitter.com/FiCzWWkm7I

As more material surfaces linking Republican Congressional leadership and membership to requests from states to delay certification of the November 2020 election-----and with the start of the 2022 primary season right around the corner,  voters and challengers to GOP incumbents should research the public accounts to determine where their Senator or Congressman stood on the Commonwealth's request. 

Best you Texans do that research before early voting starts next week. If your Congressman didn't go on the record as one of the 60 joining Arizona Congressman Paul Gosars objection ---well---County Examiner won't tell you what to do.

Devastating letter surfaces urging Congress to delay certification of Nov 2020 election

A letter from the Pennsylvania Senate urging Congressional leaders to delay certification of the November 2020 election surfaced on a January 28, 2022 episode of Steve Bannon's show "War Room".

 

Pennsylvania attorney Wally Zimolong joined the show to comment on breaking news that a Commonwealth court struck down Act 77, the law that established no-excuse mail voting in Pennsylvania, saying it violated the state constitution. 

 

In its decision, the court noted that the law has expanded access to the ballot, but the majority said that any changes to mail voting laws would require a constitutional amendment.

 

Later in the episode Bannon revealed the existence of the letter below. 

 

Dated January 4, 2021 and addressed to then Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Leader of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy, the Pennsylvania Senate outlines violations of both the U.S. and Pennsylvania Constitutions --violations of separations of powers and setting the time, date place and manner of conducting elections which is reserved to the state legislatures.

 

"Due to these inconsistent and questionable activities we believe that PA election results should not have been certified by our Secretary of State."
