U.S. Congressman Brian Babin (TX-36) issued the following statement after sending a letter with 18 House colleagues requesting a hearing to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and several relevant House and Senate committee chairs. According to the Constitution and federal statutes, resolving federal election contests for the President, the Senate, and the House falls under the jurisdiction of Congress. The letter urges House and Senate leadership to investigate and conduct hearings regarding voter fraud and election theft so that Congress is fully equipped to address the legality of the November 3, 2020 election.
"Confidence in our election process must be restored," said Babin. "It is my duty to do everything in my power to ensure that every legal vote is counted, every illegal vote is not, and our elections remain transparent. Our democracy will not survive otherwise.
"If Congress refuses to act before January 6, I will object to the electoral college vote submissions on the House floor on behalf of the millions of Americans, myself included, who do not trust the validity of this election."
