Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Jan. 2 called efforts by his Republican colleagues to challenge the Electoral College results on Jan. 6 an “egregious ploy” that “dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic.”
Romney, who has had a turbulent relationship with President Donald Trump, offered his criticism in a statement about a plan by at least 12 Republican senators to object to Electoral College votes cast for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in several contested states during the Jan. 6 joint session in Congress, when valid votes are set to be counted.
