Dear Senator ______,
It is being reported that Senator Cotton and other senators oppose following the Constitution regarding the selection process of POTUS, with Senator Tom Cotton having said, "Congress would take away the power to choose the president from the people, which would essentially end presidential elections and place that power in the hands of whichever party controls Congress."
For one thing, in 1876, Congress did not take over future elections when it addressed concerns of voter fraud in three states. Rather, the actions of Congress encouraged individual states to make their future elections more secure in order to avoid future irregularities being addressed by future Congresses. Therefore, actions by Congress protected states' rights and the future vote of We the People.
Furthermore, there are graver issues at hand, including but not limited to the following:
1) Senator Cotton and associated senators and representatives, by refusing to bear the responsibilities granted to them by the Constitution, are thereby trampling the constitutional directives that state legislatures establish the method of voting, allowing states to take the power of the voice of the people from a fair election process established by the officals closest to the various counties and districts of each state, and transferring that power to elected officials who are more distanced from the voters. When that power is distanced from the votes of smaller districts (and transferred to reps who represent an entire state), those who are unconstitutionally "empowered" are more inclined to corruption at the state level, and are more open to being swayed by special interest groups who have concentrated power.
Worse yet, when the authority granted by the Constitution to the state legislatures is co-opted by judges who are not directly accountable to the people, if at all, the integrity of the election process to express the people's vote is in even more dire straights.
Therefore, on this matter alone, Senator Cotton's claims are disingenuous.
2) However, there are other egregious matters of the Constitution which his statements trample, including but not limited to the Constitutionally directed, peaceful means of resolution for a lawless or otherwise impaired voting process.
What with Antifa being bussed into D.C. complete with police escort, it appears that Senator Cotton is rejecting constitutional and peaceful means, and thereby directly or indirectly, making way for violent means to settle the matter.
Furthermore, such policy would dilute the actual authority of the federal legislature.
In short, Senator Cotton and others are rejecting the responsibility assigned both to themselves and to Congress to uphold the authorities assigned to them by the Twelfth Amendment, authorities granted in order to maintain the peace of this great nation.
By rejecting their responsibility to uphold Congress's rightful authorities established in the Twelfth Amendment and etc., they trample on the constitutionally established protections of *their* constituents in this instance and for future instances, should voting rights actually remain in tact in spite of police escorts for Antifa.
3) Furthermore, by rejecting their responsibility to uphold Congress's rightful authorities and responsibilities established in the Twelfth Amendment, they trample on the constitutionally established protections of *your* constituents in this instance and for future instances.
4) Furthermore, Senator Cotton and others who are standing with him are trampling the Costitution of the United States of America which they swore to uphold and protect. They are therefore behaving as traitors to their own oaths and to this nation.
Therefore, please advice them to rectify their positions to come in line with their oaths of office to uphold and protect the Constitution of these United States of America.
Pressingly,
