The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus recently addressed reports that quoted him discussing the possibility of the North Carolina legislature allocating the state's presidential electors to Donald Trump before the votes are counted. Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland clarified that his comments were taken out of context.
The remarks were made during a Republican Party dinner where a pro-Trump activist suggested that legislatures in several states, including North Carolina, could convene on Election Day and allocate their state's electors to Trump. Harris referenced the hurricane-damaged counties in western North Carolina and mentioned the potential impact on disenfranchised voters.
