AZ Legislators now embark on a patriotic political war for America. Twenty-eight members of the Arizona State Legislature released a statement calling for the decertification of the 2020 Election results.
State Representative Sonny Borrelli made reference to the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence 244 years ago, during his remarks Monday. Those signers who pledged, as paraphrased by Representative Sonny Borrelli,
“Their personal fortune, their honor, their sacred honor. And as this Marine will tell you, and I know this veteran will tell you: Surrender is not in our creed.”
The Legislator’s Statement
The statement opened with remarks from House Majority Leader Warren Peterson,
“The election should not have been certified with the number of irregularities and allegations of fraud. Especially troubling to me are the allegations surrounding the vendor Dominion. It is imperative that a forensic audit occur immediately of the equipment and software. Upon any showing of fraud the legislature should immediately convene to decertify the vote.”
Rep. Peterson was joined by Representative Walter Blackman,
“In the past week seemingly conclusive evidence has come to light through successful litigation that the outcome of the 2020 election is far from certain, and at the very least, further investigation is necessary to ensure the integrity of Arizona’s election results. It is imperative that Secretary of State Hobbs rescind her certification of the election until these matters have made their way through the court and voter confidence is restored.”

What Happens Now?
Amgreatness.com reported that “According to Arizona law, only the governor or two-thirds of the state legislature can call a special session to choose the state’s presidential electors. The U.S. Constitution however allows the state legislature to choose electors, which could supersede the state law for calling special sessions.” citing the US Constitutions Article 2 Section 1.2.
State Senator-Elect Kelly Townsend has cited Constitutional Scholar Ron Natelson’s reference to Leser v. Garnett, 258 U.S. 130 (1922) “that underscores Legislative authority to convene outside of State Constitutional constraints in order to perform federal duties, such as amendment ratification & choosing Elector”

Under these terms, the Arizona State Legislature could summon itself into special session specifically to address their federal duties under Article 2 Section 1.2 allowing them to rescind the Grand Canyon State’s certification of the 2020 Election and withholding their 11 Electoral college votes. But, the clock is ticking, and following the announcement of Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s COVID19 diagnosis, House Speaker Rusty Bowers announced the closure of the AZ House for one week. AZGOP Chair Dr. Kelli Ward has strongly criticized this move by Bowers.
This is a 100% unnecessary, cowardly move. #DoYourJob #ElectionIntegrity #StopTheSteal https://t.co/Zlixtl4npN

Governor and Secretary of State took it on their own to certify. That´s against the Constitution of the United States and the State Constitution.. You can´t bypass the State Legislators and change the voting rules.
I want to thank all the members of the Az legislature for standing up for the integrity of the elections. As Az voters my husband and I watched the hearing and were appalled at the amount of fraud in Maricopa county.
Neither biden or kelly won and we also believe Sinema s election was stolen also and since nothing was done about it they figured they would get away with stealing this election also. Enough! Stop the Steal and Protect our Votes!
Sadly the Governments of every Swing State is ruined by Democraps or Trump HATER RINOS. They refused to do their Jobs and need removed from office banned from ever holding any public office elected or appointed for life. They should also lose their right to vote for allowing others right to vote to be abused and STOLEN by FRAUD on the Democraps part. They used Foreign Nations to do this. That is TREASON.
