Josh Hawley, from Missouri state, was the first senator to announce he would oppose Joe Biden's certification of victory at a parliamentary session on January 6.

Hawley said that voter fraud, Pennsylvania's failure to comply with electoral laws by extending the deadline to receive ballots by mail is the reason he will oppose Biden's certification of victory, despite the allegations.

"I cannot vote to certify the electoral college results on January 6 without pointing to the fact that some states, especially Pennsylvania, did not comply with their own election laws," the senator said.

The results of the electoral votes in the states showed that Biden had won 306 votes, higher than the threshold of 270 votes needed to win, and Trump won 232 votes.

At the procedural session of parliament on January 6, Vice President Mike Pence, who holds the presidency of the Senate, will open the electoral votes of each state for congressional members to confirm, then

Trump and his allies are planning to "flip" the election results by having Republican congressmen file petitions against electoral votes in battlefield states that are accused of fraud.

Under the law from 1887, it was necessary to have a senator and a senator submit petitions together.

However, the petition must have consensus of the bicameral parliament to take effect.

Meanwhile, Trump and his supporters continue to pressure Pence to unilaterally reject some of the electoral votes in Biden-leaning states, even though the Vice President has no such authority.
