A group of GOP senators led by Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said on Wednesday they would object to the certification of the presidential election results that Democrat Joe Biden favored in favor of President Trump, unless there was a ten-day state of emergency are the results by an election commission.
Cruz and the other senators allege that the Nov. 3 election “contains unprecedented allegations of voter fraud and misconduct.”
Along with Cruz was Sens Ron Johnson, R-Wis .; James Lankford, R-Okla .; Steve Daines, R-Mont .; John Kennedy, R-La .; Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., And Mike Braun, R-Ind .; as well as Sens-chosen Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo .; Roger Marshall, R-Kansas; Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., And Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala.
Their attempt is separate from one announced by Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., Who said last week he would object to what he said was the failure of some states – particularly Pennsylvania – to follow their own election laws.
Biden’s inauguration is scheduled for January 20th.
