A federal appeals court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and other Republicans seeking clarity on Vice President Mike Pence’s authority in determining which Electoral College votes to count during the Jan. 6 congressional joint session.

The power of Pence’s role as the president of the Senate to count or reject electoral votes has been disputed.
