It's official - Ohio Electoral Votes to Be Challenged in Congress

Breaking News: Ohio Electoral Votes to Be Challenged in Congress

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has signed a challenge mounted by House Democrats to Ohio's 20 electoral votes. By law, a protest signed by members of the House and Senate requires both chambers to meet separately for up to two hours to consider it.

Boxer stated: "I have concluded that objecting to the electoral votes from Ohio is the only immediate way to bring these issues to light by allowing you to have a two-hour debate to let the American people know the facts surrounding Ohio's election."
