Rep. Mike Johnson Was the Architect of Trump’s Electoral College Scheme in 2020
After killing the nomination of traditional Republican, Mike Emmer, they are trying to force and pressure votes for the architect of Trump’s electoral college scheme, Mike Johnson. Again, MAGA is trying to set up both a block of aid to Ukraine and help steal the election in 2024. Having the Speaker of the House say that the election was stolen and reject the results of the electoral college will be a huge help to Trump in 2024.
Mike Johnson is a Constitutional lawyer and was the architect of Trump’s electoral college scheme to overturn the 2020 election:
- The Louisiana Republican led the amicus brief signed by more than 100 House Republicans in support of a Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn the 2020 election results in four swing states.
- The team of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), a driving force of the House Jan. 6 committee and an outspoken Trump critic, released old videos highlighting Johnson's involvement, as well as a quote in the New York Times that called him "the most important architect of the Electoral College objections," NBC reports. www.axios.com/...
- Mike Johnson was also one of Trump’s defense attorneys in his Impeachment trial.
- Johnson voted against funding to keep the government open in September 2023.
- Finally, Johnson has received an F rating on support for Ukraine.
The House is Important to Trump’s Schemes to Steal the Election
At present, a House majority is perhaps the one thing Trump’s supporters seem most likely to run during the 2024 presidential election. But that alone might be enough to steal the presidency, unless and until Congress says otherwise.
Under current law, a simple majority in the House of Representatives could not only derail the process for counting electoral votes but would also appoint the person who becomes president if and when that process fails. If Congress wants to prevent this from happening, it needs to look past the Electoral Count Act to another area of law that reformers have yet to address: that governing presidential succession.

The Republicans are also in the throes of electing Trump-endorsed candidates to state legislative offices in key swing states, installing into office their favored state election officials who deny that Biden won the 2020 election, such as secretaries of state, electing sympathetic state court judges onto the state benches and grooming their preferred potential electors for ultimate selection by the party, all so they will be positioned to generate and transmit alternative electoral slates to Congress, if need be.
