Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, filed a lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence in an effort to allow Pence to choose Trump-friendly electors when Congress meets next week to certify the winner of the presidential election.
As the president of the Senate, Pence must open the Electoral College’s votes and announce the results during Congress’s joint session.
Gohmert, however, argued there is no constitutional statute preventing Pence from choosing a different slate of electors than the one certified by the states.
