How Ted Cruz And Other Republican Senators Will Try To Overturn Election Results Wednesday 01/02/21 AT 4:45 PM Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz, along with many other Republican senators, are rallying up to oppose the Electoral College’s votes in disputed states in the 2020 presidential election. The House and Senate will be meeting on Jan. 6 to confirm the 2020 election results, officially naming Joe Biden the next president of the United States ahead of his Jan. 20 inauguration. The senators have requested that an Electoral Commission is created so an audit of the disputed state’s votes can take place and the votes re-evaluated.
