Federal Judge Throws Out Gohmert Lawsuit Against Vice President Pence

The transcript discusses a legal challenge led by Representative Louie Gohmert and Arizona Republicans to overturn the presidential election results. They argued that Vice President Mike Pence has the authority to decide which electoral votes count. However, the judge dismissed the case, citing a lack of standing and pointing to previous failed election challenges. The Justice Department also requested the suit be thrown out. Gohmert and others filed an appeal, claiming procedural issues. Despite objections from some Republicans, the election results are expected to be certified, with no evidence of widespread voter fraud found by the courts.
