Hawley to contest Electoral College win for Biden

Missouri U.S. Senator Josh Hawley says he’ll object when Congress meets next week to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the election. Hawley says he’ll protest the Electoral College certification because “some states, including notably Pennsylvania” didn’t follow their election laws. Read Hawley’s full statement below:
“Following both the 2004 and 2016 elections, Democrats in Congress objected during the certification of electoral votes in order to raise concerns about election integrity. They were praised by Democratic leadership and the media when they did. And they were entitled to do so. But now those of us concerned about the integrity of this election are entitled to do the same.”
“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. 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.”
“For these reasons, I will follow the same practice Democrat members of Congress have in years past and object during the certification process on January 6 to raise these critical issues.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she has “no doubt” that Biden will be confirmed by the Congress as the 46th president of the United States.
