William Deaton, a Republican in Cordova, Alaska, has penned an open letter to the congressional delegation, asking Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan, and Congressman Don Young to not certify the vote of the Electoral College, due to widespread instances of suspected election fraud. He wants other Alaskans to sign the letter, which he will send to the delegation offices on Monday evening.
Deaton is a precinct leader in the Republican Party but has written the letter in his own capacity. He said it can by signed by anyone, and in the one hour that he made the Google document available, he saw that over 30 had already signed it.
The letter points out that hearings held subsequent to Election Day have highlighted hundreds of instances where election fraud was suspected, and that the Democrats put forth “a concerted effort to steal this election from President Trump and Vice President Pence.”
The open letter can be signed at this link.
Sen. Murkowski has already reiterated that she will be voting to certify the Electoral College vote, while Sen. Dan Sullivan and Congressman Don Young have not yet signaled their intentions. Congress meets in joint session on Jan. 6 to accept or reject the Electoral College vote, and several senators, led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, have organized to announce they will reject it.
“Right now, in our nation’s history, we are at a turning point. We will either stand courageously for election integrity or we will fall to the theft that will occur in future elections,” Deaton wrote.
