Congressman Fred Upton is supporting the formal certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory. With some members of the House and Senate seeking to challenge the election result, Upton says he will not support objections to the Electoral College vote. He issued a statement Monday, saying “Voters – not judges or politicians – must decide elections.” He goes on to say objections in Congress “would establish a new precedent allowing the Congress to supersede the will of the people.” Upton closes by saying there have been no cases of fraud discovered in Michigan that would overturn Biden’s 154,000 vote margin of victory in the state.
Below is Upton’s full statement:
“Voters – not judges or politicians – must decide elections. These objections would establish a new precedent allowing the Congress to supersede the will of the people. There have been no cases of fraud discovered that would overturn President-elect Biden’s 154,000 vote victory in Michigan.”
