Abuja (Precise Post) – The United States House voted to reject an objection to throw out Arizona’s electoral college for President-elect Joe Biden. The measure was also dismissed in the Senate.
The effort failed in the House by a final vote of 303 to 121. A majority of Republicans voted to reject the electors, 121-83.
The House and the Senate will now reconvene in a joint session to continue to count the Electoral College votes.
Remember: Any further objections must be made in writing and backed both by a member of the House of Representatives and a senator, from any state.
Objections that are entertained by the chair — that’s Vice President Mike Pence, whose duties include serving as president of the Senate — will force both the House and Senate to withdraw for debate in each chamber, which will be capped at a maximum of two hours.
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley still plans to object to Pennsylvania’s results, a spokesman said, which would force a second round of debate and votes on the objection. (CNN).
