Top conservative talker Mark Levin is urging Republicans to ignore “unreliable and cowardly” GOP leaders and back the effort started by Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks to challenge the electoral votes of several states in the Jan. 6 vote to confirm the Electoral College results.
“It is not asking too much for the Republicans to uphold the United States Constitution — which they all took an oath to do — and to fight to preserve and protect the plain words set forth in Article II. They must make the case to and on behalf of the American people. And they must make it clear to the Democrats that we, the people, who believe in this Republic, will not roll over!” he wrote in a column for TheBlaze.
In making his case, he urged Republican lawmakers to ignore pleadings from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and others to accept the election results despite concerns about voter fraud in enough states to help the reelection effort of President Trump.

“Win, lose, or draw, on Jan. 6, the Republicans must not act as if ‘the people have spoken’ and be cowered into passivity or worse, such as joining the Democrat Party and media hecklers, by insisting that they are part of a lawless party seeking to ‘reverse the results of the election,’” he wrote.
Levin added, “Too many Republicans have already buckled, including the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, Sen. John Thune, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger. No doubt others who are unreliable and cowardly when facing the organized mob will follow. But let us not be judged by those who have intentionally and strategically manipulated our politics and the law to undermine our constitutional order. It is they who must be condemned.”
He then listed 15 ways that Democrats in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia allegedly manipulated or changed the rules to help President-elect Joe Biden without the required OK of legislatures.

In Pennsylvania, for example, he said Democrats made sure three new state Supreme Court justices were liberal after the 2016 election. He also said the rules were changed to end requirements for ballot signatures, postal markings on ballots, and a matching signature. He also said that the voting deadline was extended.
In Michigan, he said that ballot application rules were changed, signature verification was scrapped, the voting deadline was changed, and some 7 million ballots were simply mailed out.
In Wisconsin, he said ballot drop boxes were put in Democratic areas and that the party showed supporters how to avoid signature rules.

In Georgia, he said ballot signature rules were changed and that huge new hurdles to challenging ballots were put in place. He also noted that poll officials were urged to accept training drafted by a Democrat.
And he added that states have ignored rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Consequently, in each of these four battleground states — and there were others — whether through executive fiats or litigation, key, if not core, aspects of state election laws were fundamentally altered in contravention of the explicit power granted to the state legislatures and, therefore, in violation of the federal Constitution and the process set forth for directing the selection of electors,” Levin wrote.
