Liberal Groups Massively Expanding Effort To Rig 2022 Election

Now that the 2022 midterm election is coming in a few months the Dems are also on the move to block a number of Republican lawmakers from running for re-election by using the pre-Jan. 6 Capitol riot rally.

Liberals are insisting that the GOP lawmakers are “insurrectionists” who took part in a ‘rebellion’ that are ineligible to serve in elective office, according to the Constitution law.

The Washington Times reported Friday:

Free Speech For People filed lawsuits on behalf of voters in Arizona’s Maricopa County that challenge the eligibility for the office of GOP Reps. Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs, and state Rep. Mark Finchem.

 Mr. Gosar and Mr. Biggs are running for reelection in November. Mr. Finchem is running for secretary of state with former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.

The suits say the lawmakers should be barred from seeking office because of their support for the pro-Trump mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, citing the 14th Amendment.

The third section of the amendment says that “no person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States” who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.”

The lawsuits follow similar suits the same group filed targeting Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina.

While Greene is still seeking to have the case against her dismissed, U.S. District Judge Richard Myers II, appointed by Trump has ruled to block an effort last month to bar Cawthorn from running again in North Carolina, ruling that the Amnesty Act of 1872 granted amnesty to Confederate and future insurrectionists.

The legal director for Free Speech For People, Rob Fein said in a statement that the argument doesn’t hold up to legal scrutiny.

“That ruling hasn’t been defended by anyone,” he said of the Cawthorn. “The facts are very strong in these cases that

Gosar, Biggs, and Finchem were heavily involved in not only the effort to introduce fake slates of electors but also involved in the violent extremist groups that gathered at the Capitol.”

Newsweek fact check also reported that more Democrats objected to electors from more states in 2016 when Trump won:

According to a C-SPAN recording of the joint session that took place four years ago, the following House Democrats made objections:

-Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) objected to Alabama’s votes.

-Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) objected to Florida’s votes.

-Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) objected to Georgia’s votes.

-Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) objected to North Carolina’s votes.

-Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) objected to the votes from North Carolina in addition to votes from South Carolina and Wisconsin. She also stood up and objected citing “massive voter suppression” after Mississippi’s votes were announced.

-Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) brought up allegations of Russian interference in the election and malfunctioning voting machines when she objected following the announcement of Michigan’s votes.

-Maxine Waters (D-Calif) rose and said, “I do not wish to debate. I wish to ask ‘Is there one United States senator who will join me in this letter of objection?’” after the announcement of Wyoming’s votes.

For an objection to be considered, it must be submitted in writing and signed by a member of both the House and Senate. Because no senators signed onto the objections made by House Democrats in 2017, then-Vice President Biden by law denied all of the objections, repeatedly saying “there is no debate.”
