A petition by the American Policy Center is urging state lawmakers to use their constitutional authority to "remedy" the "disenfranchisement" of voters through that massive expansion of mail-in voting that led to widespread vote fraud in the 2020 election.

The petition is based on an analysis reported Monday by WND written by two constitutional experts who argue that state lawmakers have the authority to overrule a certified vote count in their state if they have evidence it was the result of fraud or error.Constitutional attorneys William J. Olson and Patrick M. McSweeney were responding to a National Review column in which former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy insisted that Republican-controlled state legislatures cannot appoint slates of Republican electors to the Electoral College if the voters chose the Democratic candidate.

But Olson, a former special counsel to the U.S. Postal Service board of governors, and McSweeney, a former U.S. deputy assistant attorney general and acting assistant attorney general, explained in their analysis how the outcome could change even after states certify their results.
