A retired conservative federal judge called the results of the elections a "resounding victory" on Saturday.
He didn't interpret the results through a partisan lens but based on the candidates who would follow the US Constitution.
I don't think of the mid-term elections in terms of which party won or lost. I don't think of the elections as a referendum on American democracy.
The most important elections in our nation's history were held in the mid-terms. He said the elections were a resounding victory for democracy. The American people had the power to dispossess those politicians who had betrayed them, of the power that they had vested in, and those politicians, on November 8.
The importance of the midterms raised the stakes of the country, even though his observations may have appeared to be "quaint."
"Just as the people give their power in their political leaders to them, so can they give their power in their leaders who have betrayed them?" he wrote. As soon as the next election, they can do this.
Several candidates who questioned the results of the 2020 presidential election lost their races for office.
Both candidates were supported by Donald Trump, who lost to Joe Biden. The other election deniers lost their races as well.
He advised Vice President Mike Pence to count the electoral college votes as they have been cast.
After Biden's electoral victory in the November 2020 general election, Pence was pressured by Trump to change his mind. There was a time when the then-No. 2 didn't listen to Trump.
Republican efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election were characterized by Luttig as a "dry run" for the upcoming 2024 contest.
In June of this year, the ex-judge appeared before the House committee probing the January 6, 2021, riot, where he said that the country would have been in a "paralyzed constitutional crisis" if Pence disobeyed the will of voters.
