Republicans target each other in Indiana Senate primary
Murphy voted to object to the Pennsylvania count, but not to the Arizona count. In questioning results in key swing states, Murphy was explicit when explaining his stance on whether or not those states’ results violated the Constitution. He also claimed executive officials and judges usurped the legislative power in order;to rewrite election laws from “thin air.”;; Rep Bill Posey FloridaPosey;voted to support objections for both contested states. There has not been a serious investigation by federal agencies into the growing body of evidence of election fraud,” Posey told USA TODAY Network paper TCPalm in a statement Monday, “and among the court cases dismissed, most were dismissed on technical grounds rather than review of evidence of fraud, thus I will object as the evidence must be examined.” Rep Kevin Mccarthy CaliforniaMcCarthy;voted to support objections for both contested states. McCarthy, the House Minority Leader, expressed support ahead of Congress meeting;for his colleagues’ efforts.; I think it’s right that we have the debate. I mean, you see now that senators are going to object, the House is going to object how else do we have a way to change the election problems? McCarthy said.

The following chart shows the number of filed candidates by political party. Sen Marsha Blackburn TennBlackburn previously announced she was joining her Senate colleagues in planning to object, but did not do so. “I will vote in support of certifying the electoral college results,” she tweeted following the violence at the Capitol. “I cannot in good conscience turn a blind eye to the countless allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election,” Blackburn previously posted on Twitter.;”On January 6, I will vote in favor of objecting to the certification of the electoral college results.” Don’t Miss: How Do Republicans Really Feel About Trump Arguments For Expanding The Number Of House MembersAdvocates;for increasing the number of seats in the House say such a move would increase the quality of representation by reducing the number of constituents each lawmaker represents. Each House member now represents about 710,000 people. The group ThirtyThousand.org argues that the framers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights never intended for the population of each congressional district to exceed 50,000 or 60,000. The principle of proportionally equitable representation has been abandoned, the group argues. Another argument for increasing the size of the House is that is would diminish the influence of lobbyists. That line of reasoning assumes that lawmakers would be more closely connected to their constituents and therefore less likely to listen to special interests. Sen John Kennedy LouisianaKennedy objected to Arizona’s electoral votes count, but not to Pennsylvania’s. Kennedy previously announced he would join his 11 Republican colleagues and object to certifying Biden’s Electoral College victory.; Accordingly, we intend to vote on January 6 to reject the electors from disputed states as not regularly given and lawfully certified , unless and until that emergency 10-day audit is completed,” a joint statement that includes Kennedy states.

In the statement, the senators acknowledged they would face pushback. “We are not naive. We fully expect most if not all Democrats, and perhaps more than a few Republicans, to vote otherwise,” the statement said.;”But support of election integrity should not be a partisan issue.” Former Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly criticized Braun saying he believed the senator broke with a tradition of always doing what was right upheld by predecessors such as;Republican Richard Lugar and;Democrat Birch Bayh. Braun unseated Donnelly in 2018.; Rep John Joyce Pennsylvania
