Washington, D.C. —  Saturday, Congressman-Elect August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement signaling his intent to challenge the 2020 Presidential election results on January 6, 2020, when the U.S. Congress meets in a Joint Session to formally count and certify the votes cast by the Electoral College:

“I will be supporting an election challenge in the U.S. House of Representatives. For our democracy to function everyone must trust in it, and millions of Americans right now do not.  We must give the American people a full debate on all matters related to the election and the constitutional issues at hand.   For four years Democrats colluded to tear the country apart and question the legitimacy of our democracy – they surrendered any ground to complain about a legitimate process to assess election disputes.”
