Home World Texas Senator Ted Cruz. – Brynn Anderson / AP / SIPA Eleven elected Republicans of the Senate American announced on Saturday that they would oppose Congressional certification of the outcome of the presidential election, a final attempt to challenge the victory of Joe Biden as desired Donald Trump . So far, only one senator, Josh Hawley, had expressed his intention on Wednesday to challenge the election of the Democrat at the certification ceremony scheduled for January 6. This last-ditch attempt follows the repeated failures of Donald Trump’s supporters in front of the courts to invalidate the results of the poll in several key states where Joe Biden won. “Congress should immediately appoint an electoral commission, with full authority to investigate” possible “electoral fraud,” the eleven elected members of the upper house said in a statement, echoing repeated accusations of fraud by President Trump and by number of Republican parliamentarians for two months. The leader of the Republican senators recognized the victory of Joe Biden The commission they want to be created will have to “conduct a ten-day emergency audit on results in the states “where the two candidates were neck and neck, asked these elected officials, led by the influential senator from Texas Ted Cruz. If this audit does not take place, “we will vote on January 6 to reject the voters of the disputed states”, they announced. In the United States, the president is chosen by indirect universal suffrage. The Electoral College declared the December Joe Biden’s victory with 270 great voters against 232 to Donald Trump, while it is necessary 232 great voters to become president. The leader of the Republican majority in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, then recognized the victory of Joe Biden, and he called on the Republicans to certify this result. The House and Senate are due to meet on Wednesday to certify these results, a procedure that is usually a mere formality. “Absurdity” But the outgoing president still claims to have largely won the election of the 3 November, and he called on his supporters to rally in Washington on Wednesday. Donald Trump is counting on the debate in Congress so that the elements which he believes are the basis of his accusations of fraud are exposed to the public. “And after people see the facts, there’s still plenty to come…” he tweeted. In the House of Representatives, with a Democratic majority, more than a hundred elected Republicans plan to vote against certification, according to CNN. But in the House as in the Senate, there will not be enough votes for the process to succeed. Among Republicans who disapprove of their initiative is Utah elected official Mitt Romney, notoriously hostile to Donald Trump, described as “absurd” the approach of colleagues. Donald Trump has regularly urged elected Republican officials to support him in his crusade to challenge the results of the presidential election. This campaign failed completely in the courts, which refused to examine the evidence the Republicans say they have.
