Congressman Jeff Fortenberry made the following statement on today’s Electoral College vote certification.
“Regarding certifying the Electoral College vote, there are heartfelt convictions on both sides. I have re-read the Constitution, studied the legal arguments, participated in robust debate with colleagues, and listened intently to Nebraskans. There is no argument here that will satisfy everyone,” Fortenberry said.
“As much as I supported President Trump to win, I believe the proposed remedy to election irregularities is inconsistent with my legal obligation and the guidance of my conscience. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution. My decision is consistent with that oath. I will vote to certify the election,” Fortenberry added.
