31 Dec 2020
Rep.-elect Diana Harshbarger (R-TN) is joining the ranks of select House Republicans, as well as Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), in challenging the Electoral College votes in certain states on January 6, she announced this week.
In a statement, Harshbarger, who will be sworn into the 117th Congress on January 3, stated she will “support an objection to the certification of the Electoral College vote for the states that failed to count all legal ballots.” She noted that she joined “many” freshmen colleagues in signing a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), highlighting the “importance of guaranteeing every U.S. citizen’s right to vote in a free and fair election and that being key to protecting our Constitutional Republic.”
