Lawyers representing the Rep. Louie Gohmert
Louis (Louie), Buller GohmertGOP lawmaker, sues Pence for trying to undo Biden’s positive victory in Republican victory in Alabama over COVID-19 Pelosi warns lawmakers that they will be banned from speaking on the floor of the house without MORE mask (R-Texas) and 11 Arizona Republican Party voters revealed Tuesday in a court filing that Vice President Pence rejected his request to join his attempt to subvert the results of the presidential election.
Gohmert and voters filed a lawsuit against Pence on Monday in an attempt to argue that the vice president has the sole authority to determine which presidential voters Congress will count when it certifies election results. The heinous process essentially calls on the court to grant Pence the authority on Jan. 6 to overturn results in swing states like Arizona and for Congress to count only pro-Trump voters instead of those elected by the president-elect.

In the new court records that were made public on Tuesday, the plaintiffs revealed that they had contacted Pence before filing the lawsuit to try to join forces, but that their conversations did not reach any agreement.
“At the conference call, plaintiffs’ attorneys made a significant attempt to resolve the underlying legal issues through an agreement, including informing the vice president’s attorney that the plaintiffs intended to seek immediate precautionary action in the event the parties disagreed.” , said Gohmert’s lawyers and told voters at the presentation. “These debates did not reach an agreement and this lawsuit was filed.”
The revelation was made in a file in which Gohmert’s lawyers were looking for an accelerated timetable for issuing a sentence to try to pressure U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle of the East Texas District to decide the case on Jan. 4, two days before certification.
The decision by Pence, one of President Trump’s most ardent loyalists, marks one of the most notable breaks with his boss, which has pushed lawmakers to challenge Congressional certification of Electoral College results. Pence will oversee the January 6 joint session, during which Biden will be recognized by Congress as the winner of the White House election, although the role is largely ceremonial.
Pence has not made any public comment indicating how he plans to handle the January 6 joint session of Congress, nor has he commented on Trump’s relentless pressure campaign urging lawmakers to reverse the results of the Electoral College.
Trump’s efforts to influence Electoral College certification come after an extensive legal campaign to overturn results in individual states on allegations of fraud and electoral irregularities largely failed. Virtually all Republican Party cases were taken to court for lack of evidence or for their presence.
