WASHINGTON, D.C. A group of Republican legislators led by U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) is suing Vice President Mike Pence, hoping that it will end up allowing Pence to choose which electoral votes should count from states in which President Donald Trump lost.
The suit is the latest attempt by Trump supporters in Congress to undermine the results of the November, election, which Democrat Joe Biden won with 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232. The Electoral College ratified the vote on Dec. 14, and the results will be sent to Washington and tallied in a Jan. 6 joint session of Congress over which Pence will preside.

Six fix? Senate President Larry Obhof told reporters Friday evening that he’s still negotiating with House GOP leaders about what to do about House Bill 6, the nuclear bailout law at the center of a massive bribery scandal. Obhof, a Medina Republican, said a number of measures are under consideration, from delaying the bailout for a year to repealing other parts of the bill that critics say benefit FirstEnergy Corp. “I don’t think there’s anything that’s off the table,” he said, adding that while “it’s a challenging vote count,” he hopes to reach a deal this week as the lame duck continues.
