We apologize to our readers for endorsing Michael Waltz in the 2020 general election for Congress.
We had no idea, had no way of knowing at the time, that Waltz was not committed to democracy.
...............................
Our bad.
................
Waltz, to our horror, was one of the nine Florida Republican members of Congress who, on Thursday, signed up to support a lawsuit brought by Texas in the U.S. Supreme Court thats attempting to throw out the election results in Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania all states where Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden.
Instead, Texas is arguing those states legislatures which conveniently are controlled by Republicans should appoint a slate of electors to the Electoral College.
.................................
Trumps own lawyers have admitted before judges that their cases arent about fraud. U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr said the Department of Justice hadnt uncovered anything that would alter the elections outcome.
