President Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that legislatures in three states that Trump lost could wind up deciding who votes in the Electoral College — likely sending the election issue to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In an interview on Fox News’ Giuliani says he believes the legislative bodies in Georgia, Michigan and Arizona are poised to take votes on electors.
In Georgia, he asserted, “they started a petition to hold their own session, which they're allowed to do under the Constitution.Â
“They're the first legislature to do this now. This is a constitutional role that the founding fathers gave to our legislatures. They're the ones who are supposed to select the president, not the governors, not the board of elections. They're the ones who have the constitutional obligation to decide on the electors.”
“Michigan is considering the same thing,” Giuliani claimed. “They're not quite as far along, but they are drafting something right now, and so is Arizona, so those three … could very well end up in front of the legislature to decide who the electors are.”
Giuliani said in Wisconsin, there’s a lawsuit that “basically says if you don't have an application for the [absentee] ballot, the ballot doesn't count.”
“There are some 50-or-60,000 ballots without applications, they would have to be thrown out and that would change the election,” he claimed.
“If any of these state legislatures change the electors based on their own analysis, of course that'll be taken to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court will have to decide if it was done reasonably, rationally, or arbitrarily that's the standard
