Rep. Roy is sending a message to his personal celebration that they’ll’t have it each methods. Home Republicans can’t declare that the identical outcomes that elected them are legitimate whereas disputing the presidential election outcomes from the identical vote.
The flaw within the Trump election fraud declare has all the time been the commonsense downside that if the presidential leads to these states are invalid, then the entire leads to the 5 swing states are additionally not legitimate, and people members shouldn’t be seated.
Simply as it’s unattainable to be a bit of bit pregnant, it’s also unattainable for an election to be a bit of bit illegitimate.
The congressional delegations can be seated, however the penalties of this assault on democracy are going to hang-out the coup plotters for a really very long time.
