Wisconsin U.S. Senator Ron Johnson joined a group of 10 other Republican senators on Saturday to challenge the results of the November 3rd election.
In a released statement, the Republican senators claim there were enough charges of voter fraud and irregularities that an emergency audit of the states with disputed results should take place. One of those states would be Wisconsin, which has faced court challenges by President Donald Trump and the Wisconsin Voters Alliance. Johnson held a hearing to address possible voting irregularities in the middle of December.
He told DoorCountyDailyNews.com that even though it was unlikely to change the result of the election, it is important for Americans to be able to trust their elections. The statement comes just days before Congress convenes on Wednesday to confirm the results of the Electoral College.
