A letter from a number of prominent conservatives and Republicans called on various state legislators to “exercise their plenary power” to call up electors to the Electoral College, saying that officials in these states violated the Constitution through their orders.

The letter, posted on Dec. 10, said: “The evidence overwhelmingly shows officials in key battleground states—as the result of a coordinated pressure campaign by Democrats and allied groups—violated the Constitution, state and federal law in changing mail-in voting rules that resulted in unlawful and invalid certifications of [Joe] Biden victories.”
