As the Electoral College affirmed President-elect Joe Biden’s 2020 victory on Monday, Texas’s electors voted on a resolution calling on four battleground states to appoint new electors to vote for President Trump after the states already submitted their votes.
The electors voted 34-4 on a resolution, which will have no legal authority, requesting the legislatures of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin appoint their own electors in support of Trump, despite Biden winning their states.
All four of these states had already casted their electoral votes for the president-elect Monday, The Texas Tribune reported.
The resolution also “condemn[ed] the lack of action by the U.S. Supreme Court” after the high court last week rejected Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit challenging the vote in the same four states.
The Texas electors awarded their 38 votes to Trump and Vice President Pence after their victory in the Lone Star State on Nov. 3, but Biden on Monday still reached the needed 270 electoral votes.
