After a number of senators changed their minds in challenging the votes after the assault of the Capitol, Hawley’s office indicated that he would stay the course and mount a formal objection as planned to Pennsylvania’s electoral votes favoring Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. “Pennsylvania, which is a state that I have been focused on as an example as to why people are concerned. Millions of Americans are concerned about our elections integrity,” Hawley said of the Keystone State during the Arizona debate. He called out Pennsylvania lawmakers over enacting new procedures regarding mail-in ballots.
