Congress resumed counting electoral votes in a joint session shortly before midnight, following a rejected attempt to challenge Arizona’s electoral votes.
Vice President Pence presided over the roll call of states in alphabetical order, with no objections raised to the vote tallies from Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, D.C., and Florida. Although some House members stood up to object to the results from Georgia, it was announced that a group of senators had withdrawn their objections to that state’s vote count in light of the day’s events and the attack on the Capitol by mobs of pro-Trump supporters.
