A group of state lawmakers in Tennessee called on both senators and the state’s Congressional delegation to vote to join an effort to object to the Electoral College votes in key states due to alleged voter fraud and irregularities.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and a few dozen other GOP lawmakers have pledged to challenge the Electoral College votes on Jan. 6. It requires both a senator and a representative to carry out, triggering potentially a lengthy debate on all the contested states.
