Sen. Romney Slams GOP Lawmakers Who Threaten To Challenge Electoral College Vote: ‘Madness’

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is criticizing Republican representatives in the House who are weighing protesting the Electoral College vote.

“This is madness,” Romney said on Tuesday, according to NBC News’ Frank Thorp.

He continued, “We have a process, recounts are appropriate, going to the court is pursuing every legal avenue is appropriate, but trying to get electors not to do what the people voted to do is madness.”

“It would be saying, ‘Look, let’s not follow the vote of the people, let’s instead do it what we want,’ that would not be the way a democratic republic ought to work,” the Utah senator added.

Asked if he is confident something like challenging the Electoral College votes would fail, Romney responded, “Yes.”

Rep. Mo Brooks (R- Ala.) confirmed to The Hill last week that he plans to challenge the Electoral College vote.

He told The Hill, “I’m doing this because in my judgment this is the worst election theft in the history of the United States. And if there was a way to determine the Electoral College outcome using only lawful votes cast by eligible American citizens, then 👤Donald Trump won the Electoral College.”
