WASHINGTON (CN) Against the warning from top Republicans that such a challenge would go down “like a shot dog,” Senator Josh Hawley on Wednesday mounted the body’s first effort to unwind the Electoral College certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s November win.
A Missouri Republican, Hawley said he could not certify the results while there are concerns that Facebook and Twitter interfered in the 2020 election to support Biden. Hawley did not provide any evidence of such concerns, which he raised this morning along with questions about how Pennsylvania and others “failed to follow their own state election laws.”
