A federal judge on Friday tossed out a lawsuit filed by several Republicans alleging Vice President Mike Pence had the “sole discretion” to name valid electoral college votes.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) led the lawsuit along with several Arizona Republicans as part of a last-ditch effort to keep President Donald Trump in the White House. U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle — who was appointed by Trump — said in his ruling that Gohmert and the others who filed the lawsuit lacked standing. Gohmert and his fellow plaintiffs have already appealed the decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
