How Does Congress’ Electoral College Certification Process Work?

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe
Congress is set Wednesday to certify the results of the Electoral College vote. What is the Electoral College certification process, and how does it work? Additionally, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas and 10 other Republican senators are asking for an “emergency ‘audit’ of results in battleground states where President Donald Trump disputes the outcome," according to DallasNews.com. Tommy Binion, vice president of government relations at The Heritage Foundation, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss that and more. We also cover these stories:
  • President Trump harshly criticised Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas for saying he will not object to the outcome of the 2020 presidential election during the certification process on January 6th.
  • House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is ok with efforts in the House to dispute the results of the 2020 election, as Congress prepares to vote Wednesday to certify the results of the Electoral College vote.
  • Representatives Ted Lieu, D-Calif., and Kathleen Rice D-N.Y., have asked FBI Director Christopher Wray to launch a criminal investigation into the President after Trump spoke with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Saturday.
