The House Minority (Republican) whip Steve Scalise said on Sunday (December 13) that the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is still not elected president, because the election fraud legal challenge in key battlefield states is still going on, and there will be a final conclusion.

Scarlett also said that although the Electoral College will vote on December 14, he still supports the Trump team in challenging the election results.

In an interview on Sunday, Chris Wallace, the host of the Fox show "Fox News Sunday", repeatedly urged Scarlett to recognize Biden as President-elect, but Scarlett said that President Trump Through the legal process to challenge the election results, and did not do anything illegal. He said that the general election should allow for legal challenges. During Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court finally resolved the case.

"Eventually there will be a conclusion, but now I think if you just don’t consider the fact that millions of people want to know why in some states-Florida, Texas and other big states-they are in the (general election) Night) The result will be available before 10 o’clock that night, and then in other states it will take days and weeks. In these days and weeks, you have seen large-scale vote fluctuations, which will plant a lot of distrust. Seed. This must be resolved." Scarlett said.

"Let the legal process work. If you want to restore the trust of millions of people who are still very frustrated and angry about what happened, you have to make this whole (legal) system work. January 20 There will be a president who will be sworn in. But let us let this legal process work by itself.” Scarlett said in the interview.

The 2020 U.S. election is full of suspicions, with obvious fraud in many swing states. The Trump team and other Republicans have filed multiple lawsuits. Before these lawsuits were resolved, the mainstream media rushed to announce Biden's victory on November 7. President Trump stated that it is the legitimate voters who decide the winner, not the media. The Epoch Times announced earlier that the winner will be announced only after all legal challenges in the 2020 U.S. election are resolved.

Technically speaking, the president-elect is formally elected only after the electors vote and the national accounting votes.

The electors will meet to vote on December 14. Congress will convene a joint meeting on January 6, 2021 to calculate the results of the electoral votes submitted by the states. During this meeting, if a member of Congress thinks there are problems with the election results in some states, they may refuse to accept the results of the Electoral College in these states. If the challenge is successful, it may inspire the House of Representatives to elect the president.

In this case, the voting of the House of Representatives is different from the voting of the members of the parliament in the ordinary time. Instead, the state delegations vote. Each state delegation has a vote, and the person who wins the majority of the state delegation’s votes will become the president. In the 50 state delegations, the Republican Party controls at least 26, so it is beneficial for Trump to obtain a majority and win re-election.

Currently, Republicans in both the Senate and the House of Representatives have indicated that they will challenge the Electoral College voting results submitted by the swing state on January 6.

The Democratic Party recently proposed a resolution that "the committee confirms that it is preparing for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden", but it was rejected by the Republican leader in Congress. The Republican Party said that many states in the United States are conducting election-related lawsuits, and President Trump refuses to acknowledge the fraudulent election results. Republicans also said that they refused because there are certain election-related procedures that need to be completed before the president is elected.
