Members of the Pennsylvania House and Senate are calling on Congress to dispute the state’s 20 electors when the Joint Session of Congress meets on Jan. 6.

In a letter (pdf) to the Pennsylvania state delegation, the GOP lawmakers noted that the U.S. Constitution “empowers Congress to reject electoral votes that are not ‘regularly given’ or ‘lawfully certified,’” while adding that conduct from Pennsylvania’s executive branch during the election “has undermined the lawful certification of Pennsylvania’s delegation to the Electoral College.”
