Upstate congresswoman will object to certifying presidential election results [View all]

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) plans to object to the certification of last year’s presidential election on Wednesday when Congress meets to make those results official.

The upstate Republican announced the move Monday morning on her Congressional website, saying she will “object to certain contested electors on January 6th.”

Stefanik will join dozens of other Republicans in Congress who plan to call into question the Electoral College vote when they convene Wednesday to formally ratify it, but their efforts most likely will be in vain.

President-elect Joe Biden won the election both through the popular and electoral vote, but it hasn’t stopped President Trump and his GOP allies from making unfounded claims that the election was rigged in Biden’s favor.
