BREAKING: 10+ Senators are actively discussing plans to join Hawley in objecting to 2020 electoral votes. Many citing McConnell’s rejection of stimulus checks as leadership failure.
— Jack Posobiec ???? (@JackPosobiec) January 2, 2021On Wednesday, Hawley announced that he would be objecting to the certification process of the Electoral College Vote on January 6th. Hawley is the first Senator to officially make this announcement.
"Millions of voters concerned about election integrity deserve to be heard," Hawley tweeted with a statement attached. "I will object on January 6 on their behalf."

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) December 30, 2020“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 his statement.
"And I cannot vote to certify without pointing out the unprecedented effort of mega corporations, including Facebook and Twitter, to interfere in this election, in support of Joe Biden. At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections. But Congress has so far failed to act," Hawley added.
Check out what The Hill reported:
Hawley's decision comes as a group of House conservatives, led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), have pledged to make a long-shot bid to overturn the results of the presidential election next Wednesday by objecting to the Electoral College results.
In order to force a debate and a vote on their objection to a state's results House members need the support of a senator who will also object — something they didn't have before Hawley's announcement.
It will be the third time Congress has had to debate an objection since 1887, according to the Congressional Research Service. The other two times, in 1969 and 2005, were ultimately unsuccessful in changing the results of the election and the objections were rejected.
The move by Hawley was strongly frowned upon my Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who tried confronting Hawley on the issue during a Senate conference call.
During the call, McConnell pressed Hawley on why he was making the decision to defend President Trump to which he heard no response. The Senators then realized Hawley had completely ditched the call.

Check out what CNN reported:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday held a conference call with the Senate GOP conference in which he pressed Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley to explain the rationale behind his plans to object to the Electoral College vote, according to a source directly familiar with the call.
Hawley did not respond to multiple questions from McConnell, including when asked to lay out his plan to object to the Electoral College vote — and senators soon recognized he wasn’t actually on the call. Politico was the first to report the news of the call that an official told CNN occurred earlier Thursday.
A second source familiar with the call told CNN that McConnell made it clear to his members on Thursday that he is giving them room to vote their conscience on such objections.
