Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., says North Carolina’s legislature should consider awarding Electoral College votes to Donald Trump.

"A Maryland Republican who leads a right-wing coalition in Congress says North Carolina’s legislature should consider awarding Electoral College votes to former President Donald Trump before citizens’ votes are counted, according to Politico.

Rep. Andy Harris, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, made the comments at a dinner on Thursday, saying the idea “makes a lot of sense” because the western part of the state, a rural area where Trump is popular, is still dealing with the impact of Hurricane Helene."

    “It’s profoundly antidemocratic to take the right to vote for president away from the people,” said Justin Levitt, a professor at Loyola Law School who worked for the Department of Justice under Barack Obama and as a voting rights advisor for Joe Biden. “It seems like an idea prompted by panic, rather than allowing the people to express their voice.”

    There’s no panic. It’s just an opportunistic lie to remove any chance of Harris winning. Cause they’re fucking liars and cheaters.
