Capital-Star photo by Stephen Caruso State Sen. Doug Mastriano addresses a crowd of Trump supporters at the Pennsylvania state Capitol on Saturday, Nov. 7. As President Donald Trump egged on his supporters and called for a “fight” before they marched to the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, he cited a false statistic that traces its origins back to Harrisburg. “Pennsylvania had 205,000 more votes than you had voters,” Trump falsely claimed. The president’s false claim can be traced back to a Dec. 28 letter signed by 17 of the state’s Republican lawmakers, who used incomplete data to claim that the certification of Pennsylvania’s election results was ”premature, unconfirmed, and in error.”

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) announced on Wednesday that he will oppose the certification of President-elect Joe Biden when Congress meets on Jan. 6 to certify the electoral college results.
In a tweet, Hawley cited claims of voter fraud and called out the state of Pennsylvania for failing to adhere to its own election laws.
Millions of voters concerned about election integrity deserve to be heard. I will object on January 6 on their behalf pic.twitter.com/kTaaPPJGHE I cannot vote to certify the electoral college results on January 6 without raising the fact that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws, Hawley said in a statement.
