tv_txt: IV 116th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1252 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES December 8, 2020 Mr. Mooney of West Virginia (for himself, Mr. Norman , Mr. Budd , Mr. Harris , Mr. Gohmert , Mr. Biggs , Mr. Wright , Mr. Duncan , Mr. Posey , Mr. Brooks of Alabama , Mr. Roy , Mr. Perry , Mr. DesJarlais , Mr. Cloud , Mr. Weber of Texas , Mrs. Lesko , Mr. Davidson of Ohio , and Mr. Williams ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on House Administration RESOLUTION Expressing support for efforts across the country to count every legal vote and to investigate and punish election fraud in the 2020 Presidential election.

Whereas republican governments are chosen through free elections by eligible citizens; Whereas over 150,000,000 Americans participated in an election to choose our next President on November 3, 2020; Whereas serious allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election have been made in States like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada; Whereas voting discrepancies and last-minute rule changes outside of the normal legislative process cast doubt on the integrity of the vote count, including the failure to verify signatures on mail-in-ballots; Whereas allegations of voter fraud have the potential to undermine popular faith in our Government and the President who will be inaugurated on January 20, 2021; and Whereas it is necessary to investigate every allegation of election fraud to reassure the public and the world that the President was elected in a free and fair election: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports efforts across the country to count every legal vote and to investigate and punish election fraud in the 2020 Presidential election; (2) calls upon all Members to support all electoral investigations until a fair and accurate count is verified; and (3) encourages neither President Donald Trump nor former Vice President Joseph Biden to concede until all investigations of alleged fraud are completed.
