Eleven Republican senators from the United States do not want to acknowledge Biden’s election victory next week. Instead, they want to investigate unsubstantiated allegations of fraud. That will not change the result.
Eleven Republican senators plan to oppose the final confirmation of the results of the US presidential elections in Congress next week. The group, led by Ted Cruz, issued a joint statement calling for the results to be reviewed in several states for unfounded allegations of voter fraud.
Earlier, Republican Senator Josh Hawley and several of his fellow House parties announced that they would oppose certification of the electorate results.
Confirmation is usually a purely formal act
For this certification – generally a purely formal act – both houses of congress will meet on Wednesday. They count the votes of the individual states and officially announce the result.
The Republican objection will not change the fact that President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in on January 20. But it is the most comprehensive attempt to reverse the outcome of an election in the United States since the civil war. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has asked his fellow party members to accept the defeat of President Donald Trump and confirm the electoral vote.
The courts have long ago decided
Outgoing President Trump falsely claims there was massive election fraud. Numerous courts, including the Supreme Court, have dismissed supporters’ claims in recent weeks. Cruz and his associates said Saturday they would vote against certain voters if Congress did not immediately establish an electoral commission to investigate the fraud allegations. They focus on those states where Trump has made his unfounded allegations of fraud.
Biden won the election on November 3 with 306 of 232 voters. Trump was the first US president in nearly 30 years to run for reelection and lose.
