U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) introduced the “Presidential Ballot Integrity Act,” aiming to bar electors from states that remove a major party’s candidate from the presidential ballot.
This bill would amend the Electoral Count Act of 1887, stating that the vote of an elector from a state shall not be counted if the state did not include the major party’s nominee for president on the ballot.
“New law… If any state in our Union blocks the official nominee of a major political party from the Presidential ballot, their electoral slate will not be counted by Congress on the following January 6th,” Higgins wrote. (Trending: Joe Biden Emailed Hunter’s Business Associates 54 Times)

“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes,” he said. “Have a very MAGA Christmas.”
The bill was a response to the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot.
Other Republican lawmakers have also taken action in response to this ruling.
