Vice President Mike Pence is fighting back at Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert’s lawsuit against him that is designed to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
Justice Department lawyers representing Pence asked a judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on Thursday to throw out the lawsuit that asserts parts of the Electoral Count Act, which establishes the procedures for Congress counting the Electoral College votes, are unconstitutional and claims there was election fraud. Gohmert is joined by a group of Arizona Republicans who would have been electors for President Trump.
