Rep. Jamie Raskin Refutes Fabricated Quote on Election Certification

Overview

• A viral quote attributed to Rep. Jamie Raskin, suggesting Democrats would not certify the election if Trump won, has been debunked as fabricated.
• Raskin clarified that the quote is a lie aimed at undermining the election process and affirmed that Congress will certify the winner of a free and fair election.
• The misleading quote circulated widely on social media, but no credible evidence supports that Raskin made such remarks.
• Raskin's comments from a February event were misrepresented; he discussed the Supreme Court's role in enforcing the 14th Amendment, not election certification.
• The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that states could not remove Trump from the ballot, leaving enforcement of the insurrection clause to Congress.
