Republican Electors in Georgia and Pennsylvania Attempt to Keep Trump Campaign’s Protest Alive

This afternoon both the Georgia and Pennsylvania Republican electors cast their ballots for President Trump in an alternative slate, as the legal battle continues. The Pennsylvania GOP and the Georgia GOP chairman released two different statements regarding the decision.

Had we not meet today and cast our votes, the President’s pending election contest would have been effectively mooted. Our action today preserves his rights under Georgia law.

Both Pennsylvania and Georgia did cast their electors to Joe Biden but the GOP electors voted for President Trump. In both states, the president was winning handily on election night but then lost.

The GA GOP Chairman, David Shafer noted that since the GOP electors cast their votes for President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, the Trump legal team still has time to protest the election and try to make his case.

The Pennsylvania GOP statement stated, “We took this procedural vote to persevere any claims that may be presented going forward.” It is unclear what exactly this will do except give the President more time to fight this in the courts.

Both the Georgia GOP and the Pennsylvania GOP seem to be behind the president, with him as he is fighting for his political life. There looks to be more hearings coming up and potentially more opportunities to plead their case.

The Trump legal team has not been very successful thus far however, all they need is the Supreme Court to side with him on one of the various lawsuits and things could change.
