Members Of Congress Formally Count Electoral College Votes

NPR

Members of Congress are formally counting the Electoral College votes. A group of Republicans --  including Sen. Mike Braun of Indiana -- are planning to object to the results, citing false claims of widespread voter fraud. President Trump continues to baselessly claim that he won the election rather than Joe Biden, who is set to be sworn into office on Jan. 20.

Watch the proceedings live.
