New York State Team
ALBANY - Rep. Elise Stefanik, a Republican from Saratoga, said she plans to object to some electors on Wednesday as Congress meets to certify the Electoral College vote for President-elect Joe Biden, saying, "I am acting to protect our democratic process."
And new Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of Staten Island said she will probably do the same, telling a radio show Monday her goal is ensuring "every vote that is counted is a legal one."
But other House GOP members in New York are either planning to vote to certify Biden’s electoral college victory over President Donald Trump or are mum on their plans, showing the divide among Republicans in the state and the nation over unfounded allegations of electoral fraud.
