On Jan. 6, Congress will meet in a joint session to count and validate the results of the presidential election.

What is traditionally a quick ceremonial affair is expected to unfold in a drawn-out spectacle this time, as a small group of Republicans say they plan to challenge the results, despite no proven evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Newly sworn-in Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, said she will be among the House members “voicing my objection.”

For a challenge to go forward, at least one member each from the House and the Senate must lodge a written complaint. The chambers then meet separately for no more than two hours to debate and vote. A simple majority in both chambers is needed to approve the objection and throw out a state’s electors. That is unlikely to happen, as the House is controlled by Democrats, and the effort is also being criticized by some Republicans in both chambers.

In a statement explaining her position, Boebert said “ensuring the integrity of the elections that take place in America is essential” to the country. She claims that “several states” removed voter safeguards during the 2020 elections “that violated provisions in their respective state constitutions and the United States Constitution.”

Boebert did not specify in her statement which states those were or what safeguards she believes were removed. Her office did not respond to follow-up questions asking about those details.

Rep. Doug Lamborn will also object, while Rep. Ken Buck will not
On Monday, GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn said he would also support the objection of the count for Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and Michigan.

"There were irregularities in ... some of these states," Lamborn told CPR News. "Whether it rises to the level of wide-spread fraud, I'd like to get to the bottom of that, and I don't have an answer for that."

Fellow Colorado Republican Rep. Ken Buck said he does not plan to object. Buck released a statement Sunday with six other GOP Representatives criticizing the attempt by their colleagues to overturn the election results in Congress.

"There were irregularities in ... some of these states," Lamborn told CPR News. "Whether it rises to the level of wide-spread fraud, I'd like to get to the bottom of that, and I don't have an answer for that."

Fellow Colorado Republican Rep. Ken Buck said he does not plan to object. Buck released a statement Sunday with six other GOP Representatives criticizing the attempt by their colleagues to overturn the election results in Congress.

“The text of the Constitution is clear. States select electors. Congress does not,” the statement read. “Accordingly, our path forward is also clear. We must respect the states’ authority here. Though doing so may frustrate our immediate political objectives, we have sworn an oath to promote the Constitution above our policy goals. We must count the electoral votes submitted by the states.”

Buck and the others did add in the statement that the elections in six states raised “profound questions.” Previously, Buck spokesperson Lindsey Curnutte said Buck “has not witnessed any widespread voter fraud in [Colorado] that would impact the results, and he can’t speak for other states and their processes.”

Wearing his other hat as the head of the Colorado GOP, Buck has tried to reassure his party members that Colorado’s elections are generally secure and reliable.

Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet said he was very surprised that a member of the Colorado delegation will join in the objections. Over the weekend, a dozen Republican Senators said they would object to the election results. Bennet said that will “send a terrible message to the American people.”

“We’ve sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. And now certain senators and certain representatives, against the clear evidence of an election that Joe Biden won, are trying to disturb the results of the various states,” Bennet said. “It’s an outrage. It shouldn’t happen.”

(CBS4) — Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has released a new commercial explaining why she’ll carry a gun in Washington, D.C.

The Republican congresswoman who represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District tweeted the new video on Monday.

“Here are the real reasons why I choose to defend myself in our nation’s capitol,” Rep. Boebert says in the video. “I’m a woman and a mother of four. I choose to defend my family with all of the force the Constitution provides. D.C. is one of the top 10 most dangerous cities in our country. Homicide rates, and violent crimes are skyrocketing here.”

“I don’t go to work in a motorcade or armored car. I don’t get police escorts everywhere I go. I walk to my office every morning, by myself. As a 5-foot-tall, 100-pound woman, I choose to protect myself legally, because I am my best security.”
