Mitt Romney slams GOP effort to question Electoral College votes

Sen. Mitt Romney on Saturday released a statement saying that the “ploy” by a group of senators including Ted Cruz to reject Electoral College votes is a threat to democracy.“The egregious ploy to reject electors may enhance the political ambition of some, but dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic,” reads the statement. “The congressional power to reject electors is reserved for the most extreme and unusual circumstances. These are far from it.”Romney
