U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) released the following statement on today’s certification of the Electoral College votes:
“I have serious concerns about election integrity, especially in Pennsylvania, and expressed some of them in a written statement to the Senate. But today’s sickening, un-American attack on the U.S. Capitol overshadowed that debate.
“Congress cannot fix problems with election integrity, only states can fix these problems. But Congress can investigate those problems and raise awareness. The allegations of fraud during this election were unprecedented, and left millions of Americans concerned that their votes don’t count. Discussions of election integrity must occur and I will seek another forum to continue that discussion.”

WASHINGTON, DC Illinois congressional delegation with two notable exceptions voted to count all 2020 Electoral College votes and confirm Democrat Joe Biden as the nation s 46th president, despite a fight both symbolic and literal by allies of President Donald Trump to subvert the vote and keep him in the White House.
Wednesday s vote was supposed to be the last hurdle before the Jan. 20 inauguration of Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, but a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol Building Wednesday afternoon, putting an end to a joint session of Congress. Capitol Police cleared the building Wednesday evening, and the session resumed shortly after 8 p.m. eastern time.

NEW JERSEY, NJ Congressman Chris Smith is one of only two Republican Congress representatives remaining in New Jersey; he represents New Jersey s Fourth Congressional District, which is most of Monmouth, part of Ocean County and a small sliver of Mercer.
Speaking directly to Patch Wednesday night, here are his thoughts on what happened in Washington today: I unequivocally condemn the assault on Capitol Hill, and those who committed the vandalism and crimes should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, said Smith. Special thanks to the Capitol Police for their brave and decisive actions to mitigate and then end today s crisis. There needs to be good enforcement of those who did this so it has a chilling effect on future acts like this.
