Tommy Tuberville, senator from Alabama. (Reported; not in log)
Tuberville, newly elected to his position, committed to objecting to the submitted electoral votes before Jan. 6 and subsequently did so. He was also the target of multiple calls on Jan. 6 itself, including one from Trump early that afternoon. (Tuberville reportedly told Trump during the call that Pence was being evacuated from the Senate chamber.)
Later, Giuliani would try to reach Tuberville to encourage the senator to drag out the vote-counting process until the end of tomorrow so that other legislators could be persuaded to join the effort. Unfortunately, Giuliani accidentally left that message on the voice mail of Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).
