William Timmons

Thank you for taking the time to contact my office. I always appreciate receiving feedback from constituents regarding issues that are important to them, especially during these unprecedented times.

Like you, I share a dedication to our Constitution, which I took a sworn oath to uphold and defend. Because of this, I cannot sit idly by as we continue to hear accusation after accusation of fraud and irregularities surrounding the election on November 3rd. While I have stated that we need to allow the legal process to play out and that President Donald Trump deserves his day in court, federal lawmakers like myself also have a role to play, which is why I intend to object to the certification of the electoral college vote on January 6th.

In the months leading up to the November election, activist judges, unelected bureaucrats, public officials, and even private parties made sweeping changes to state election laws in places like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin without examining the potential consequences to our democratic process. I publicly objected to these states’ decisions to implement changes like universal mail-in voting and witness signature requirements that would affect how votes are cast, in addition to who would be able to cast them, as this is unconstitutional, since the power to amend election laws is delegated to state legislatures.

In the days and weeks after the election, these poorly implemented changes only worked to sow chaos as we determined the next President of the United States, leading millions to question and have doubts about the outcome. While my colleagues across the aisle will ultimately block this objection, Congress has the responsibility to shed light on how we arrived at this point to ensure that future elections are not plagued by these same exact issues. We owe it to every American to ensure that every legal vote is counted, every improperly cast ballot is thrown out, and all irregularities and allegations of fraud are fully investigated.

In an effort to stay up to date on my views on the issues facing our nation, I would invite you to subscribe to my newsletter and follow on Twitter at @RepTimmons and on Facebook at William Timmons.

Thank you again for contacting my office. It is an honor and a privilege to represent you in the United States House of Representatives.

Respectfully,

William R. Timmons, IV Member of Congress
