Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said an electoral vote challenge on Jan. 6 to the results from certain states, planned by about a dozen other Republican senators as well as a number of GOP House members, is a way to restore confidence in the process.
Several days ago, a group of 11 senators led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said they would object to electoral votes unless an emergency bipartisan audit in light of allegations of election fraud was carried out. Before that, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced that he would become the first senator to join the House GOP effort, which requires a representative and a senator to officially object.
