Toomey, Murkowski to oppose GOP effort to challenge election results

GOP Sens. Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) said on Saturday that they will oppose efforts by at least a dozen of their Republican colleagues to challenge President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College win next week.

Murkowski, in a statement issued Saturday reaffirmed that she would back the results of the 2020 election during a joint session of Congress Jan. 6.

"I will vote to affirm the 2020 presidential election. The courts and state legislatures have all honored their duty to hear legal allegations and have found nothing to warrant overturning the results. I urge my colleagues from both parties to recognize this and to join me in maintaining confidence in the Electoral College and our elections," Murkowski said.

Toomey said the "evidence is overwhelming that Joe Biden won this election."

This is one of them I suppose. Otherwise he’s a very typical RWNJ.
