Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said on Wednesday that he will object during Congress's counting of the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6, becoming the first GOP senator to back the effort by House conservatives.
The decision by Hawley would ensure a debate and vote in the House and Senate on the Electoral College results.
I cannot vote to certify the electoral college results on January 6 without raising the fact that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws," Hawley said in a statement.
"And I cannot vote to certify without pointing out the unprecedented effort of mega corporations, including Facebook and Twitter, to interfere in this election, in support of Joe Biden. At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections. But Congress has so far failed to act," Hawley added.
His office didn't immediately respond to a question about which states he will object to next week.

You had your chance to do this. And voted it down.

Republicans are the masters of making their own problems, blaming everyone else, and pretending to want to fix them for votes.

When a dingus from Missouri thinks he's in a better position to be an interpreter of law and finder of fact than the judges who heard these cases.

Someone should tell him to eat a dick on the Senate floor.

Republicans have a long sordid history of thinking they're better at whatever they do than even God would be
