Thomas Massie
The group of Republicans is being led by representative Thomas Massie who wrote the press release joined by fellow legislators. In the release, Rep. Massie writes “only the states have authority to appoint electors, in accordance with state law. Congress has only a narrow role in the presidential election process. Its job is to count the elector submitted by the state.”
“Our job on January 6th is to determine whether these are the electors the states sent us, not whether these are the electors the states should have sent us.”
