The Amistad Project has released a paper finding the deadline to submit Electoral College votes does not have to be followed. 

The Trump campaign has sought to put electoral votes in the hands of legislators in Wisconsin. 

The finding comes as the Trump campaign and other allies have filed 800 challenges in several states. Including key states like Arizona, Georgia and Nevada where the margin of vote totals between Trump and Joe Biden are separated by only tens of thousands of votes. 

“Through rigorous investigations supporting our litigation, we demonstrate that state and local officials brazenly violated election laws in several swing states in order to advance a partisan political agenda,” said Phill Kline, director of The Amistad Project. “As a result, it is impossible for those states to determine their presidential Electors in line with the arbitrary deadline set forth via federal statute in 1948, and thus, the only deadline that matters is January 20, 2021.”

The Amistad Project, which is a project of the Thomas More Society, recently asked the Michigan State Supreme Court to seize all proof of voting irregularities regarding the 2020 General Election and declare the results invalid due to unlawful conduct.

“The Amistad Project has filed litigation in several key swing states arguing that illegal conduct by state and local officials led to more than 1.2 million potentially fraudulent ballots, including illegal votes that were counted and legal votes that were not counted. In each state, the number of potentially fraudulent ballots far exceeds the margin separating the leading presidential candidate,” The Amistad Project said in a press release.
