    Texas GOP Passes Resolution Declaring Biden ‘Not Legitimately Elected’

    Texas Republicans passed a resolution on June 18 stating that President Joe Biden was “not legitimately elected,” and that “substantial” election fraud in key metropolitan areas influenced the results of the 2020 presidential election in favor of Biden.

    “We believe that the 2020 election violated Article 1 and 2 of the US Constitution, that various secretaries of state illegally circumvented their state legislatures in conducting their elections in multiple ways, including by allowing ballots to be received after November 3, 2020,” stated a resolution passed on Saturday, the last day of a three-day biennial Texas GOP convention held in Houston, the Texas Tribune reported.

    “We believe that substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results in five key states in favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr,” the resolution continued.

    “We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States,” it added.

    The state’s GOP, the largest in the nation, passed the resolution after delegates sat through a Thursday screening of “2000 Mules,” a documentary directed by conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza.

    The movie features the undercover investigative work of David Lara, a citizen investigator, and Arizona State Senate candidate Gary Snyder, as well as investigations conducted by the election integrity organization “True The Vote” on an alleged coordinated ballot trafficking operation during the 2020 election.

    There is no doubt that this will have its roots in white supremacy or some other buzzword boogie man. :Rolleyes

    Are you implying that "white supremacy advocates" are leftists emitting the smoke screen of disinformation to hide their racist policies?

    How many times has the left declared Mr. Trump was wrong on something, only days or months later to have to admit he was right. Being spied on ring a bell?

    It Is a dumb political move, imo, and essentially untrue at its core.

    Regardless of reports of fraud, when the states (most with majority GOP legislatures) certified their election results and sent electors to Washington, Biden was officially and constitutionally elected.

    They need to focus on 22 and 24.

    peace to you

    Can you give a list of specifics that are what were untrue?

    Yep. This is what makes the election legitimate (by legitimate I mean Constitutional). Regardless of fraud and how a candidate gets the State's endorsement, the Constitution is very clear about what legitimizes an election.

    The first sentence of the first paragraph that Biden was not “legitimately elect” is untrue. He was “legitimately elected” when the legislatures verified their election results and sent electors to Washington. That is the constitutional process.

    The rest of the statements concerning inappropriate election protocol is accurate but not relevant once the results are certified.

    The Texas legislature has authority to reject its own election results and the Texas GOP party has no authority in the matter of rejecting results, neither in Texas nor any other state.

    They can certainly offer opinion, but that’s the extent of it.

    It is no different from the Dems jumping up and down claiming Trump wasn’t legitimately elected for four years.

    Better to focus on 22 and 24

    peace to you

    Each state has its own laws on how electors are chosen. If they did not legally meet those laws then it is a fact that the President was illegitimately chosen.

    They didn't verify, they certified. What does that mean?

    I stand corrected Thanks you.

    They certified the results, which means the results were accepted by the legislature.

    peace to you

    I respectfully disagree. The time to challenge the process is before the legislature choses the electors. If I understand correctly, there is an opportunity for debate in each state before the vote to certify occurs.

    peace to you

    No, if the only course of action is violence and death, the country is already done

    Win elections. Investigate. Prosecute. Make laws to stop any fraud.

    peace to you

    That means they can be decertified, and should be, when the truth of the matter has been established.

    Biden has been constitutionally elected POTUS.

    Even if you got enough states to “decertify” the results, which will never happen, there is no constitutional process , other than impeachment, to remove him. That will never get 2/3 vote in Senate. And even if it did, which it never will, that gives you President Harris.

    If the goal is to remove POTUS, the best option is voting in 22 and 24.

    peace to you

    I don't think there is any specific statute prohibiting one from flying airliners into the World Trade Center. But what would justice be?

    So there is no specific statute on what to do about one who is illegally installed in the White House, making illegal orders, illegally signing bills, illegally making mandates that have cost lives and livlihoods,

    What would justice be?
