WASHINGTON — The newly elected chairman of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, Rep. Andy Harris, suggested that North Carolina’s Republican-controlled state Legislature should consider awarding the state’s electors to Donald Trump before all votes are counted, according to a video of his remarks posted on social media on Friday.
Currently, voting is going well in western North Carolina,” Harris said before pointing blame at Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., for voicing doubts about whether he would vote to certify a Trump election victory if there are anomalies. 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.
