147 congressional Republicans vote to reject certified Biden electors after the Capitol attack

After the Capitol attack, 147 Republican members of Congress still voted to reject certified Biden electors from Arizona, Pennsylvania, or both. The group included 139 House Republicans and eight senators: Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Cindy Hyde-Smith, John Kennedy, Cynthia Lummis, Roger Marshall, Rick Scott, and Tommy Tuberville. Every objection failed, but the roll calls created an official record of lawmakers who tried to discard certified state results during the electoral count. The votes tested whether Congress would honor state certification after violence had already interrupted the transfer of power.
