"Nothing before us proves illegality of the massive scale that would have tipped the entire election. Nor can public doubt alone justify a radical break when the doubt was incited without any evidence. The constitution gives us here in Congress a limited role" — Mitch McConnell
"This election was not unusually close. 1976, 2000, and 2004 were all closer than this. The electoral college margin was almost identical to what it was 2016. If this election were overturned by the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral" – McConnell
"Self-government requires a shared commitment to the truth and a shared respect for the ground rules of our system. We can not continue drifting into two different tribes with two different set of facts and two different realities" — McConnell

NEW analysis from @sonam_sheth and me: Republicans bit the hand that fed them by attacking the integrity of Georgia's elections and election officials. Georgia voters rewarded them by giving Loeffler, Perdue, and the GOP's Senate majority the boot businessinsider.com/republican-sup…
Before the GA runoffs, Republicans not named Trump overall did very well with record-high levels of mail and early voting: the GOP had only lost 1 Senate seat on net, picked up 11 seats on net in the US House, and 80+ seats on net in state legislatures businessinsider.com/republican-sup…
So far, It's unclear whether the GOP's brutal loss in Georgia's runoffs will spur any soul-searching to affect the party's incentive to overturn election results, spread bad-faith misinformation and conspiracies, and attack election officials. businessinsider.com/republican-sup…

Good afternoon! Today, @JakeLahut and I will be live-blogging the joint session of Congress to count slates of presidential electors, led by @VP Pence, where we expect GOP lawmakers to object to multiple states presidential electors for the first time businessinsider.com/republicans-ob…
In addition to my explainer on the Electoral Count Act process for objecting to electors from yesterday, which you should go check out, here’s a little thread rundown of what we can expect to see today
businessinsider.com/how-gop-lawmak…
As a quick terminology note, you may see some places refer to today’s events as “certification,” but Congress isn’t really certifying anything — they’re just counting slates of electors that have already been certified in the states

BREAKING: Democrat Raphael Warnock will defeat Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler to become Georgia’s first Black Senator, @businessinsider and @DecisionDeskHQ project
businessinsider.com/georgia-senate…
Also of note: Warnock achieved his historic win through a runoff system that was deliberately designed during the Jim Crow era as a blatant way to benefit the chances of white candidates and disadvantage Black ones theconversation.com/a-brief-histor…
Last night, @DecisionDeskHQ and @businessinsider projected that Jon Ossoff will defeat Sen. David Perdue in Georgia, handing Democrats control of the US Senate for the first time since 2015 and unified control of government for the first time in a decade businessinsider.com/georgia-senate…

Happy Georgia runoff day! As always, I'll have you covered with live results and up-to-the-minute vote counts from @businessinsider and @DecisionDeskHQ —bookmark this page for when results for both runoffs start coming in tonight at 7 p.m. ET! 📈
businessinsider.com/georgia-senate…
when deciding where to go for Georgia results tonight, do keep in mind that @DecisionDeskHQ/@businessinsider correctly called both Pennsylvania and the entire presidential race for Biden over 24 hours before the rest of the major outlets and networks caught up 😉
And we're off the races! Polls have closed in most of the state except for a few places with extensions due to minor delays/other issues, but results will start coming in starting now businessinsider.com/georgia-senate…
