Congressional Record/Volume 167/Issue 4/House/Counting Electoral Votes/Arizona Objection Debate/Gosar Speech (2)
Mr. Gosar. Mr. Speaker, as I was saying, the probability of these ectopic curves, you have a better likelihood of winning the Mega Millions lottery than you do having statistical issues here.
Over 30,000 illegal aliens voted in Arizona using the Federal ballot, yet our secretary of state refused the public access to review the ballots.
Over a thousand residences were visited for proof of residency and address; 456 failed that test. They were vacant lots. Even the Recorder’s office was used as an address.
What are they hiding? If the process was fair, these would be improbable. These would be once-in-a-lifetime-type applications.
So let’s look at the ballots, the signatures, and the adjudicated records. Until this is done, Mr. Speaker, we should not count this slate.
You have a letter from the Arizona Legislature stating its intent to review the issue on January 11. Our Governor has refused to allow the State to properly convene to do its proper oversight.
Mr. Speaker, I ask you one question today: Are you a ceremonial figurehead in your current role, or did the drafters of the 12th Amendment and Congress, in the Electoral Count Act of 1887, envision a role where you made discretionary decisions about ballot fraud and fair elections?
If you are merely ceremonial, then let’s be done with this. Let’s eat our tea and crumpets and witness our national decline.
But if you are not merely ceremonial but vested with discernment, rationality, and legal authority to not just count from 1 to 270, then do not accept Arizona’s electors as certified. Remand the slate back to the secretary of state, back to the Governor, with the following instructions: Until a full, complete electoral forensic audit is allowed by the secretary of state, the electors currently certified will not be counted.
It will then fall on the State of Arizona to decide are its electors in the game or not. Anything less is an abdication of our constitutional Republic and our ethos: one man, one vote.
We ask: Why? What is there to hide? Shouldn’t the lawful victor of an election be proud, open, and transparent about an election audit? I would. Instead, we are met with denials, coverups, and contempt of subpoenas.
There is too much evidence of fraud, demonstrated by statistical anomalies that experts have determined cannot happen in the absence of fraud, to accept such a slate. I am not asking these electors never be counted; it is just that they need to be certified the proper way.
Our beloved Constitution is but a mere piece of paper if we do not follow the law, upholding the law. But now, alas, we find ourselves lawless, destroying the very thread that binds us together. But we need to get back to the rule of law. That is what has been violated, truly, by the actions in these States.
