Sen. Kim Thatcher is among those who seek to overthrow the will of voters; and she sought to be Oregon secretary of state.
In one of the most curious and pointless political stunts of this long year, 12 Republicans in the Oregon House and Senate on Friday sent a letter to Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum asking her to support a lawsuit that would, in effect, nullify the wishes of Oregon voters in the presidential election.
The lawsuit from the state of Texas, which was rejected by the U.S Supreme Court Friday evening, had asked the court to intervene and thwart the will of voters in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The goal was to deny President-elect Joe Biden the electoral votes from those states, and thereby throw the election to President Trump, who lost in both the electoral college and the popular vote.
