Bill 118 H.Res. 970 is a resolution introduced in the US Congress to censure Representative Elise Stefanik of the 21st Congressional District of New York. The resolution accuses Representative Stefanik of violating her oath of office by spreading false information and promoting conspiracy theories related to the 2020 presidential election.
The resolution highlights specific instances where Representative Stefanik made misleading statements about the election results and supported efforts to overturn the outcome. It also criticizes her for promoting baseless claims of widespread voter fraud without evidence.
The resolution argues that Representative Stefanik's actions have undermined the integrity of the electoral process and eroded public trust in the democratic system. It calls for her to be formally censured by the House of Representatives as a way to hold her accountable for her actions.
If passed, the resolution would serve as a formal reprimand of Representative Stefanik and could have implications for her standing within the House of Representatives. It is part of a broader effort to address the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories among elected officials and hold them accountable for their actions.
