Group of Senators Seek to Delay Biden’s Triumph: What Will Happen?

Eleven Republican senators announced today that they will oppose the certification that the United States Congress must make of the November election result, which could delay confirmation of the Democratic presidential candidate’s victory. Joe biden but do not prevent it.

Should Congress immediately appoint an electoral commission, with full authority to investigate? possible “electoral fraud,” seven sitting senators and four elected senators said in a statement, according to the AFP news agency.

These lawmakers echoed accusations that the president Donald trump, defeated in his aspiration to be re-elected, did so since the elections were held without presenting any evidence.

Senators argued that the commission they are calling for should a 10-day emergency audit of the results in states where the voice difference was very tight.

Without this audit, “we will vote on January 6 to reject voters in the contested states,” warned the group, led by Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

The electoral college ratified on December 14 Biden’s triumph, with 306 voters against Trump’s 232, and the two chambers of Congress are due to meet next Wednesday to certify that this results in a generally purely formal procedure.

In the House of Representatives, which has a Democratic majority, more than a hundred Republicans plan to vote against certification, according to CNN television.

However, neither house – the Senate has a Republican majority – is expected to have enough votes for the initiative to succeed.
