Dozens of Republicans said to be planning to object to electoral college vote as President Trump urges party to fight on for presidency




Dozens of Republican members of Congress are planning to challenge the electoral college vote on January 6th which as it stands would officially see Joe Biden declared President-Elect.

The joint session of Congress is usually seen as a formality to simply count the electoral votes submitted from the states and declare a Presidential winner two weeks before the inauguration.

However, Rep. Mo Brooks said Monday that “dozens” of House Republicans might sign onto objections to the Electoral College results on January 6th.

The Washington Times reports that Mr. Brooks said there is “overwhelming” and “compelling” evidence of “serious voter fraud and election theft” in the 2020 election.

“There are dozens in the House of Representatives who have reached that conclusion, as I have,” the Alabama Republican said on “Fox & Friends.” “We’re going to sponsor and co-sponsor objections to the Electoral College vote returns of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and maybe more depending on where we collectively want to go.”

President Trump has himself pledged to continue to challenge the election results on grounds of fraud and has urged his supporters to pressure their congressional representatives to oppose the electoral college vote.
