G.K. Butterfield (District 1-D)
He intends to vote to affirm the Electoral College vote.
“I will affirm the Electoral College vote and stand with the American people. With over 81 million votes cast and each state’s Electoral College votes certified, the American electorate spoke loudly and clearly in selecting Joe Biden as the next President of the United States of America and Kamala Harris as the Vice President. It is very disturbing that many Republicans in Congress and President Trump refuse to respect the will of the people and recognize the election results. Instead, President Trump and his allies are pushing wild conspiracy theories and unfounded claims of election fraud, which undermine faith in our representative democracy. President Trump and his allies have brought more than 60 lawsuits to date challenging the results of the 2020 election and all have failed. The choice of the American people must be respected and that is why I will vote to affirm the Electoral College vote.” -Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01)
