Maryland Rep. Andy Harris condemned the violence at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, but he also had another message: It shouldn't distract from the fraud he insists occurred in the election of Democrat Joe Biden despite numerous courts ruling otherwise.
On the House floor and in statements, the Republican lawmaker said he voted to object to the certification of Biden's victory over President Donald Trump early Thursday after the Capitol chaos because he believes more investigation is needed into the election.
He was not alone.
Returning hours after the attack on the Capitol and working through the night, both the House and Senate voted to accept Arizona’s results, but six GOP senators and 121 GOP House members objected to the vote despite the unfounded nature of the claims of fraud.
