Since the current GOP candidate lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, he had continued to make unfounded claims about election fraud and he even pushed to prevent votes for Biden from being certified. Now, a group of bipartisan former governors has joined together in an effort to make sure that the correct election results are certified after the 2024 election.

A letter from the “Keep Our Republic” group was first obtained by the outlet. According to the POLITICO, nearly 20 ex-governors had signed onto the effort. It urges sitting governors to certify election results by the Dec. 11 deadline.

“Certifying electors is a simple yet essential task that ensures a peaceful and lawful transition of power. Failing to meet this duty jeopardizes the voice of the voters and risks unnecessary chaos.”
