Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday suggested to Pennsylvania GOP state senators that they have the power to vote and choose their own electors, while citing allegations of voter fraud in the Keystone State.
In a Pennsylvania Senate Republican Policy Committee hearing in Gettysburg, the former New York City mayor said that the U.S. Constitution stipulates that state legislators are empowered with the ability to nullify a state’s electors and can send their own to the Electoral College.
An election is “not run by the governor or an election commission,” he argued, pointing to the 12th Amendment of the Constitution. “It’s your power … it’s your responsibility,” Giuliani said to the Republican senators, adding that “you have to convince other members of the legislature” to vote to send up their own slate of electors.
