Judge Dismisses Gohmert’s Election Suit Against Pence

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a bid by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and other Republicans that sought to endow Vice President Pence with the legal authority to effectively overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral win, The Hill reports.

Washington Post: “The judge’s Friday night ruling tosses out what many election law experts considered a far-fetched theory to challenge the formal mechanism by which President-elect Joe Biden will be affirmed as the winner of the race for president.”
