What more could your guy do?
It's too late, Westerman told Washburn, to come up with alternate slates. The electors have already been selected and the governors have already submitted the paperwork, he noted. "Once those electoral votes go in those envelopes and are mailed, there's not really anything else in the Constitution that allows that to be changed," he said. Westerman already backed a lawsuit by Texas challenging the election returns in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia. But the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, ruling "Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections." That rejection, in Westerman's view, "closed the books on challenges to the 2020 election results," he told his constituents on Twitter. Although the electoral votes are formally counted Jan. 6, Westerman portrayed Monday's proceedings as the true finish line, telling his Twitter followers Friday: "The casting of electoral votes will end a hotly contested election, and we should come together as Americans to work together for the future of our country." Three days later, during his appearance on "The Doc Washburn Show," Westerman acknowledged his stance upset some people. "I think I've rubbed a lot of people's cat the wrong way the last few days," he said, but added that he viewed accepting the results as "the right thing to do."
LITTLE ROCK -- After calling for Americans to come together and accept Monday's Electoral College results, U.S. Rep. Bruce Westerman got a grilling from a Little Rock talk radio host who quoted the U.S. Constitution and cautioned him not to abandon President Donald Trump.

Maybe he won't get back to me but if he doesn't I will get back with him again and also the next time he runs for office.
I know where he lives.

So, accepting the electoral results and asking the nation to come together is cause for rebuke?
Because he "abandoned" Trump? If Trump had any legal standing to challenge this election whatsoever, he's already tried it all and failed. He lost, get over it. Like your Congressman rightly did.
