(Reuters) - Republican Senator Josh Hawley on Wednesday pledged to challenge Democrat President-elect Joe Biden’s victory when Congress convenes to officially tally the electoral votes, which could trigger a lengthy debate in the Senate but has virtually no chance of overturning the results.
Hawley, the junior senator from Missouri who was elected in 2018, said in a statement, that “some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws.”
“At the very least, Congress should investigate,” he said in a statement.
Hawley did not provide any evidence for his claims.
A number of Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives have said they plan to object to the election results, but Hawley is the first U.S. senator to do so.

New Mexico’s fossil fuel market finished 2020 in recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and historic losses in the value of oil and gas and production levels throughout the state.
After April’s market crash to as low as -$40 per barrel, the lowest price in history, and a dramatic drop in New Mexico’s rig count by more than 60 percent in the months after the pandemic struck the state in March, the late fall and early winter saw some slight rebound.
But the market was still far off from the record-setting, pre-pandemic growth.

(CNSNews.com) - After delivering an end-of-the-year/holiday message, Democrat President-elect Joe Biden on Tuesday took a few, mostly softball questions from reporters.
As he prepared to leave the room, Fox News s Peter Doocy shouted out his question, since Biden never calls on him: President-elect, Doocy asked, do you still think that the stories from the fall about your son Hunter were Russian disinformation and a smear campaign, like you said? Yes, yes, and yes, Biden responded. God love you, man. You are a one-horse pony, I tell you. Thank you. Thank you. I promise you, my Justice Department will be totally on its own, making its judgments about how they should proceed. Thank you.

Newsmax, Fox News Walk Back Voting Machine Conspiracies After Legal Threats
Two television networks that have aired segments accusing rival voting machine vendors of enabling voter fraud in the presidential election are now walking back those claims after the threat of litigation.
Fox ran a two-minute pre-taped segment on a Fox Business Network show hosted by Lou Dobbs and Fox News programs with Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro. Newsmax anchors read from a prepared statement Monday, after both networks aired claims from the Trump campaign that voting machine vendors Smartmatic and Dominion were involved in a conspiracy to change votes for President-elect Joe Biden.
