Mike Johnson argued that some state election officials had made COVID-19–related changes to early-voting and mail-in voting procedures without consulting state legislatures. He claimed these changes were unconstitutional and called them a “constitutional infirmity.” This argument was cited by many of the 146 House Republicans who opposed certifying the 2020 presidential election, which was won by Joe Biden. Johnson also prepared an amicus brief supporting a Texas legal appeal seeking to invalidate results in several states, but the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
