preview

The vote for Arizona was 93-6 in the Senate and 303-121 in the House. Later, the Senate voted 92-7 against an objection to certifying Pennsylvania's results; House members rejected it 282-138. For either objection to succeed, both chambers would have had to support it.All Texas Democrats voted against the objections. U.S. Reps. of Fort Worth and of The Woodlands were recently diagnosed with COVID-19 and did not vote. New Rep. , R-Irving, was the only Texan to split her vote — she supported certifying Arizona's results but voted against certifying Pennsylvania's. Here's how each Texan voted.In addition to these actions, several Texas U.S. House members also signed onto an objection to certification for the state of Nevada, . Those Texans were U.S. Reps. Louie Gohmert, Roger Williams, Lance Gooden, Ronny Jackson, Brian Babin and Randy Weber.Perhaps it goes without saying — but producing quality journalism isn't cheap.
