Congress will vote Tuesday on certifying the results of the November Presidential Election.
Congressman Clay Higgins says he has a constitutional duty to vote against certification because many states changed their election procedures without legislative approval, resulting in illegitimate results.
“In six sovereign states there is a preponderance of evidence to suggest that election laws were violated, which means that the integrity of the election itself was violated,” said Higgins.
Those claims were rejected by the US Supreme Court but are supported by a faction of Republicans, including Higgins and Senator John Kennedy. It is unclear where most of the state’s Republican Congressional delegation stands on a certification vote.
Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell is calling on the delegation to vote to certify. He had strong words for those who refused to accept President-elect Biden’s victory.
“This is all about petty politics and they are scared of Trump,” said Campbell “That’s the only thing, they are scared to death of Trump. They are all men, supposedly, how can they be that scared of another man? You need to do what is right.”
But Higgins says along with legal concerns over altered voting procedures he’s also seen evidence of largescale voting irregularities.
“There is a tremendous amount of evidence within these states that fraud was committed, sort of six different flavors of fraud,” said Higgins.
Louisiana’s senior Senator Bill Cassidy, who says he will vote to certify the election, says no such evidence has been presented showcasing the kind of wide-scale fraud needed to impact the election. Higgins did not name any specific cases of fraud during the interview.
Campbell says Congressmen who vote against certifying know what they are doing is wrong.
“Those people voting against it know better than that, they are all educated people and they know better than that they just don’t have any courage. They’re worried about the next election, not Louisiana,” said Campbell.
