The 147 Republicans Who Voted to Overturn


When the Senate reconvened at 8 p.m., and the House of Representatives an hour later, the proceedings — including the objection debates — continued, although some lawmakers who had previously planned to vote with the objectors stood down following the occupation of the Capitol. Plans to challenge a number of states after Arizona were scrapped, as well — but one other objection, to Pennsylvania’s results, also advanced to a vote. Here are the eight senators and 139 representatives who voted to sustain one or both objections.



Senate

Tommy Tuberville, Ala.


Rick Scott, Fla.


Roger Marshall, Kan.


John Kennedy, La.


Cindy Hyde-Smith, Miss.


Josh Hawley, Mo.


Ted Cruz, Texas


Cynthia Lummis, Wyo.

House

Robert B. Aderholt, Ala.


Mo Brooks, Ala.


Jerry Carl, Ala.


Barry Moore, Ala.


Gary Palmer, Ala.


Mike Rogers, Ala.


Andy Biggs, Ariz.


Paul Gosar, Ar

They should not be allowed to serve after they have failed their oath and helped an insurgency and violating our rights under the Constitution.
