A) Romney on GOP senators contesting election results: The egregious ploy to reject electors may enhance the political ambition of some, but dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic.

B) Romney: The congressional power to reject electors is reserved for the most extreme and unusual circumstances.

C) Romney: My fellow Senator Ted Cruz and the co-signers of his statement argue that rejection of electors or an election audit directed by Congress would restore trust in the election. Nonsense.

D) Romney: Members of Congress who would substitute their own partisan judgement for that of the courts do not enhance public trust, they imperil it.

E) Romney: Were Congress to actually reject state electors, partisans would inevitably demand the same any time their candidate had lost. Congress, not voters in the respective states, would choose our presidents.

F) Romney: Adding to this ill-conceived endeavor by some in Congress is the President’s call for his supporters to come to the Capitol on the day when this matter is to be debated and decided. This has the predictable potential to lead to disruption, and worse.

G) Romney: I could never have imagined seeing these things in the greatest democracy in the world. Has ambition so eclipsed principle?
