U.S. election: Republicans force debate on validity of Arizona vote count

Some Republican representatives and senators made their first objections to electoral votes known, specifically to Arizona’s electoral votes, on Wednesday during a joint session of Congress. Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona said he objected on behalf of 60 of his colleagues and his objection was signed by a senator, forcing a debate on the votes. The objection was that the votes “were not, under all of the known circumstances, regularly give.”
