Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) elaborated on his Electoral College challenge when the Joint Session of Congress convenes on Jan. 6, saying that it is contingent on whether an emergency audit is performed to determine whether allegations of fraud during the Nov. 3 election are valid.
Cruz and 11 other Republican senators announced they would challenge the electoral results, joining dozens of House lawmakers in their bid. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) previously announced he would join the GOP representatives, becoming the first senator to make the announcement.
