(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.

Bishop, driver kidnapped in Nigeria
Auxiliary Bishop Moses Chikwe of Owerri, Nigeria, and his driver were kidnapped late Dec. 27
ROME Auxiliary Bishop Moses Chikwe of Owerri, Nigeria, and his driver were kidnapped late Dec. 27, according to
Fides, the news agency of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
His car was found later near Maria Assumpta Cathedral in Owerri.
According to Nigeria’s
Daily Post Dec. 29, the Archdiocese of Owerri issued a statement saying, “There has not been any form of communication from the kidnappers since his kidnap on Monday.”
“Trusting in the maternal assistance of the blessed Virgin Mary, we pray for safety and quick release,” the archdiocese’s statement said.
Soul one of the most challenging, and most satisfying, projects he’s ever worked on.
The Dallas native is one of two directors of photography on the company’s latest existential comedy, half of which is set in the real world, and the other half in an ethereal purgatory of sorts in which characters transition between birth, death, and the afterlife.
More specifically, Megibben is credited as the director of photography for lighting, which means he oversees efforts to bring together light and colors within the entire scope of the visual presentation.
Unlike a cinematographer on a live-action film, Megibben isn’t “on set,” but rather oversees a team that’s part of an assembly-line process. However, many of the goals are similar.
