Giuliani Warns Against Legislatures Certifying ‘False Election’

Legislatures in states that saw fraud this month should be careful not to certify a “false election,†President Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Sunday.
Citing witnesses who have attested to seeing Republican poll observers blocked from properly watching ballots be counted in cities like Philadelphia and Detroit, Giuliani asserted ballots were counted for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden multiple times but for Trump just once.
“You in essence have two different elections. One for Biden, where he can get four times the vote, and one for Trump, where he’s limited to the actual vote that he got. Seems to me the state legislature can’t live with that. They’d be certifying a false election,†Giuliani said on WABC 770 AM.
Trump’s campaign has gathered approximately 250 affidavits in Pennsylvania and 200 in Michigan relating to election irregularities but has struggled to win over judges, who have repeatedly ruled against them. Some lower court judges have sided with the campaign but are usually overruled by the state Supreme Courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court has yet to take up election-related legal battles.
That leaves the second prong of the campaign’s approach: state legislatures.
“There’s no question the legislature has a role. The Constitution of the United States, Article II, section 1, clause 2, says that the presidential election shall be conducted by the state legislature—not the governor, not the commissioner of elections, not the crooked political officials in Philadelphia—but by the state legislature,†Giuliani said.
“Now, they’ve delegated that. But when fraud is going on, they have a perfect right to rescind that delegation. They didn’t delegate it to be conducted fraudulently. They delegated it to be conducted honestly.â€
