Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giu­liani and his team appeared in front of a GOP Ari­zona State Leg­is­la­ture event on Mon­day morn­ing alleg­ing that con­sid­er­able vot­er fraud occurred in the state while also push­ing for the GOP-major­i­ty state House and Sen­ate to hold a vote on the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of the election.

“Your polit­i­cal career is worth los­ing to save the right to vote in Amer­i­ca,” Giu­liani told the GOP sen­a­tors. “At times in our his­to­ry, men and women stepped for­ward” to defend Amer­i­cans’ rights and lib­er­ties, he added.

The U.S. Con­sti­tu­tion, Giu­liani said, stip­u­lates that state leg­is­la­tures have the author­i­ty to cer­ti­fy a state’s elec­tors. “You, the leg­is­la­ture of Ari­zona, have the ple­nary pow­er to reg­u­late the selec­tion of elec­tors in a pres­i­den­tial elec­tion,” he said, adding that the Supreme Court has ruled that state Hous­es and Sen­ates can reclaim the pow­er to name electors.
