Hinson Opposes Republicans Attempt To Overturn Election Results

New U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson of Iowa announced Tuesday that Congress should “respect states’ authority in the election process,” signaling her opposition to those in her party who plan to contest Joe Biden’s presidential election win. In a press release, Hinson said she joined 11 other Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives in sending a letter to House leadership ahead of today’s vote to certify the 2020 election results. So far, President Donald Trump has enlisted support from a dozen Republican senators and up to 100 House Republicans to challenge Biden’s 306-232 Electoral College win. It is all but certain to fail, and Biden is set to be inaugurated on January 20.
