Time: Congressional Republicans Won't Overturn Biden's Win. But Their Objections Are Still Dangerous

By Alana Abramson

    Tomorrow, both chambers of Congress will convene to count the states' electoral votes and certify Joe Biden as the winner of the election. However, this year will be different. President Trump has refused to concede, and dozens of Republican lawmakers have said that there will be objections, although it's highly improbable that it will change the outcome.
"Most of the Republicans who plan to challenge the outcome have said their intention is to air allegations of rampant voter fraud. But those claims are not supported by evidence. Trump’s own Administration deemed the election the most secure in U.S. history. And since Election Day, Trump’s legal team has lost nearly all of its challenges to election results in court, with judges widely rejecting their allegations."
