Far-right congressman suggests N.C. legislature should consider handing electors to Trump on Election Day

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The Maryland GOP congressman was responding to remarks at the Talbot County Lincoln-Reagan Dinner made by a pro-Trump activist, Ivan Raiklin, who proposed to the audience that Trump and others should call on GOP-led state legislatures in multiple states, including North Carolina and swing states like Arizona and Georgia, to convene on Election Day and award their electoral votes to Trump.
49% : Addressing the Lincoln-Reagan dinner Thursday, Raiklin said popular podcaster Joe Rogan -- who was set to interview Trump on Friday -- should ask the former president about "calling on the state legislatures in the entire country to just go ahead and convene on November 5 to allocate their own state's electors." "At a minimum in North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin, so that those states guarantee that no illegals are voted, no illegal drop boxes, no illegal signature non-verification going on, and it's fully free, fair, transparent," Raiklin added.
26% : Swept into Congress in the Tea Party wave of 2010, Harris was elected just last month as chairman of the ultraconservative Freedom Caucus, succeeding Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., who lost his primary race after going against Trump.
