WASHINGTON – Michelle Fischbach s first major vote in Congress sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The newly elected Republican representing western Minnesota s Seventh Congressional District voted not to certify the Electoral College votes of two states. She did so just hours after a mob incited by President Donald Trump s false claims of a stolen election stormed into the Capitol, attacking police and attempting to break into the Senate and the House, where Fischbach voted. This election was shrouded in allegations of irregularities and fraud too voluminous to ignore, said Fischbach in a statement issued before the attack on the Capitol, calling for a proper investigation of unproven fraud claims that have been dismissed by dozens of federal courts. She declined to be interviewed for this story.
