November 12, 2020 To all Tennesseans, The Tennessee House Republican Caucus unequivocally and staunchly stands with President of the United States Donald J. Trump in demanding that all legal ballots, and only legal ballots, be counted in the 2020 presidential election. Voting is one of the most fundamental pieces of our American republic. One person equals one vote in a system that grants justice and equality for all in deciding our government. In an election where there are alleged examples of voter fraud and malpractice, Tennessee Republicans stand with the rule of law. We shall not accept the idea that the national media or the political elite have the official say on the winner of any election, let alone the presidency. It is up to the official systems put in place by the constitution and by the people. When there are alleged software glitches, lost or destroyed ballots, and questionable practices implemented in some areas of the country, litigation must have a day in court to decide the outcome of this election process. We uphold the idea of protecting the rights of all Americans, liberal or conservative, to have their voices heard. After all legal ballots are counted and any illegal ballots are removed, we support confirming the victor. A peaceful transition to the next term, whether it be the incumbent or the challenger, is paramount to our system of government. We stand with all Tennesseans in defending the integrity of elections. We are asking for the election process to have the ability to finish before prematurely declaring a winner. It matters who governs, Speaker Cameron Sexton Chairman Jeremy Faison Leader William Lamberth Representative Andrew Farmer Representative Brandon Ogles Representative Bruce Griffey Representative Bryan Terry Representative Bud Hulsey Representative Charlie Baum Representative Chris Todd Representative Chris Hurt Representative Clark Boyd Representative Clay Doggett Representative Curtis Johnson Representative Curtis Halford Representative Dale Carr Representative Dan Howell Representative Dave Wright Representative David Hawk Representative David Byrd Representative Debra Moody Representative Dennis Powers Representative Esther Helton Representative Gary Hicks Representative Glen Casada Representative Iris Rudder Representative Jason Zachary Representative Jay Reedy Representative Jerome Moon Representative Jerry Sexton* Representative John Crawford Representative John Holsclaw Representative John Ragan Representative John Gillespie Representative Kelly Keisling Representative Kent Calfee Representative Kevin Vaughan Representative Kirk Haston Representative Lowell Russell Representative Mark White Representative Mark Cochran Representative Mark Hall Representative Mary Littleton Representative Michele Carringer Representative Mike Carter Representative Mike Sparks Representative Pat Marsh Representative Paul Sherrell Representative Rebecca Alexander Representative Rick Eldridge Representative Robin Smith Representative Ron Travis Representative Ron Gant Representative Rush Bricken Representative Rusty Grills Representative Ryan Williams Representative Sabi Kumar Representative Scott Cepicky Representative Scotty Campbell Representative Susan Lynn Representative Tandy Darby Representative Terri Lynn Weaver Representative Tim Hicks Representative Tim Rudd Representative Todd Warner Representative Tom Leatherwood *Signed electronically without written signature. .
