Palazzo To Oppose Electoral College Vote

Statement

Congressman Steven Palazzo (MS-4) released the following statement announcing his opposition to the upcoming Electoral College certification vote in Congress on January 6, 2021.

"I cannot vote to certify the results of an election in certain states that millions of Americans and I do not wholeheartedly trust. States cannot bypass their legislature to alter election processes, nor can they violate the laws already in place to safeguard the election. It's unacceptable to have ballots accepted after statute allows; those ballots should be deemed fraudulent or void. I stand with millions of Americans who do not approve or accept the submission made by the electoral college until a complete and thorough investigation of all evidence has been conducted," said Palazzo.

"I cannot idly stand by and watch Mississippi be disenfranchised while other states knowingly violated their Constitution and side-stepped their legislatures in the 2020 election. I am committed to ensuring that all Americans are confident and trust the outcome of our election; it's the bedrock of our democracy."
