Video Shows Roger Stone Working to Overturn Election

August 17, 2023 at 8:29 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

New video from a documentary shows Roger Stone “working to overturn the 2020 presidential election — before the election had even been called for Joe Biden,” the Daily Beast reports.

Said Stone: “Although state officials in all 50 states must ultimately certify the results of the voting in their state…the final decision as to who the state legislatures authorize be sent to the Electoral College is a decision made solely by the legislature.”

He added: “Any legislative body may decide on the basis of overwhelming evidence of fraud to send electors to the Electoral College who accurately reflect the president’s legitimate victory in their state, which was illegally denied him through fraud… We must be prepared to lobby our Republican legislatures…by personal contact and by demonstrating the overwhelming will of the people in their state—in each state—that this may need to happen.”
