Over 10,000 people have signed a petition to impeach Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes after his controversial decision to support a lawsuit that would throw out votes in favor of President-elect Joe Biden.



The change.org petition was organized after Reyes announced Wednesday that Utah, along with 16 other states, had filed an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit that is attempting to block Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin from casting their electoral votes.

The states named in the lawsuit all went for Biden over President Trump.

Reyes faced criticism from many following the move, even from Republican Gov. Gary Herbert and Gov.-elect Spencer J. Cox.

It stands to reason, however, that many support Reyes' actions as he was reelected to another term in November with 61 percent of the vote. Utah voted overwhelmingly to reelect President Trump and Republican candidates were victorious throughout the state.

Quite frankly, every single Republican politician who supported the Texas suit needs to be removed from office for sedition and treason. There is no other way to parse it. To actively want to impose the will of some states' electoral results on others is blatantly anathema to the fundamentals the nation was founded on. This is not patriotism.

Agreed, although if they publicly apologize and denounce Trump I would favor seating them, because Trump supporters need to hear their politicians doing that.

Humility is not a concept that the modern Republican Party understands.

Anyone on that disgraceful effort to undo a lawful, clean election deserves to be defeated in the next election, if necessary in a recall. It's obvious that we have a definitive method of electing a President. That people dislike the results? At least 80% of the electorate of the USA are terribly disappointed with the results of at least one of the two last Presidential elections (assuming that the polarization of the electorate is not an exaggeration).

The efforts to achieve honest elections are so effective that electoral fraud is much more difficult and much easier to detect than it used to be. Both Parties want it that way. Electoral devices and materials are under controls analogous to accounting controls for cash and high-value assets.

The test of democracy is not that elections go the way we want them to go; the test is that we accept results that don't go as we want them to go. If in 2016 you were shocked and dismayed that Michigan went for Trump but accepted that as reality because you could not prove otherwise,  or if in 2020 you were shocked and dismayed that Georgia went against Trump but accepted that as reality because you could not prove otherwise, then you have shown your respect for the validity of elections essential to a working democracy.

This stunt is stupid. It must not go the other way next time, if perhaps the Republican wins and people dispute how Minnesota and New Hampshire went for the Republican, with state officials in D states making a similar challenge.
