Lou Dobbs Says 7 States Chose Electors for Both Candidates and Trump Could Still Win
BY JEFFERY MARTIN
Newsweek, 12/15/20
Fox Business host Lou Dobbs alleged on Tuesday that President Donald Trump could still win the 2020 election, despite the fact that President-elect Joe Biden was declared the victor in the Electoral College on Monday.
The Quote
Dobbs claimed that seven statesPennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexicohad chosen electors for both Trump and President-elect Joe Biden.
"If the House and the Senate cannot agree on which electors to accept," Dobbs said, "an untested constitutional procedure could result in each state being given one vote which they could allocate to either Biden or Trump. And since the Republicans hold 26 of the 50 State houses, there would exist at least the mathematical possibility that President Trump could be named the constitutionally elected president."
Why It Matters
Trump has continued to claim without evidence that he actually won the election and that widespread voter fraud on the part of the Democrats has made him appear to be the loser. Trump's legal team has filed multiple lawsuits in battleground states attempting to overturn the results of the election.
Alabama Republican Mo Brooks said Monday that he would challenge Biden's electoral college victory in the Congress. In an interview with Dobbs, Brooks said that Congress has "the lawful authority to accept or reject Electoral College vote submissions from states that have such flawed election systems that they're not worthy of our trust."

Glad to report there are no statute of limitations for conspiracy and treason.
