President Donald Trump isn’t giving up his re-election bid. According to White House Adviser Stephen Miller, GOP electors from contested states will vote during the Electoral College vote.
“As we speak today, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote, and we’re going to send those results up to Congress,” Miller said on Fox & Friends. “This will ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open. That means that if we win these cases in courts, that we can direct that the alternate state of electors be certified.”
Electors from every state met on Monday to determine who will be the United States’ next president. Miller doesn’t believe that the Electoral College Vote is the end of the process.
“The only date in the Constitution is Jan. 20. So we have more than enough time to right the wrong of this fraudulent election result and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the election,” Miller said.
According to The Hill, in the contested states, including Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennslyvania, President Trump supporters will act as alternates, submitting unofficial results. Congress could recognize the alternate electors if President Trump’s campaign succeeds in reversing those states’ outcomes. Nothing in the Constitution or state electoral processes allows for such an “alternate” slate of electors.
President Trump continues to spew out claims of voter fraud without any evidence. The president shows no sign of letting up from these claims, and given Miller’s comments on Fox & Friends, the fight will continue.
