Here's the list: 121 House Republicans who voted to reject Arizona's 11 electoral votes, reflecting ballots cast by 3.4 million Americans.
And here are the 83 Republicans who voted to reject the challenges, defying the pressure from President Trump and his supporters.
Because there are number of additional members who voted to reject PA but not AZ -- here is the list of Republicans who backed the challenge to the votes of 6.9 million Pennsylvanians.
64 House Republicans broke with their president and party leaders to reject the Pennsylvania challenge.

>@RepConorLamb delivers one of the more memorable Hosue speeches tonight -- and almost sparks a fistfight inside the chamber. "These objections don't deserve an ounce of respect, not an ounce. A woman died out there tonight. And you're making these objections." Image
Lamb got even more personal: "That attack today, it didn't materialize out of nowhere, it was inspired by lies... The members who're repeating those lies should be ashamed of themselves, their constituents should be ashamed of them." Image
A few moments later @MorganGriffith rose to have Lamb's words taken down. Pelosi refused, saying it was "not timely." Griffith argued back, and Pelosi said, "Look, you say that about me every single day." Lamb kept talking, and that's when the altercation happened off camera.

McConnell: "We'll complete the process, the right way, by the book. ... Criminal behavior will never dominate the United States Congress. This institution is resilient, our democratic republic is strong. The American people deserve nothing less."
SCHUMER: "Franklin Roosevelt set aside Dec. 7, 1941, as the day that will live in infamy. Unfortunately, we can now add Jan. 6, 2021, to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy."
"This will be a stain on our country not so easily washed away, the final terrible, indelible legacy of the 45th president of the United States -- undoubtedly, our worst."

>@SenSchumer says he spoke to Biden: "I pledged to him that as majority leader, President Biden & VP-elect Harris will have a partner in me and my caucus, who is ready, willing and able to help achieve a forward looking agenda and deliver bold change to the American people."
"For too long, much needed help has been stalled or diluted by a Republican led Senate, and President Trump that will change with a Democratic Senate, Democratic House, and a Democratic president."
Asked about power-sharing deal: "I look forward to sitting down with Leader McConnell. We have a lot of things to discuss. We 1st have to wait till the races are certified and the new senators here are here...before we can put anything in place, but certainly will have to talk."

If you're trying to plan your Weds/Thurs: @LeaderHoyer tells reporters that, yes, if there are challenges to all 6 states it could take as much as four hours to debate and vote on each one, meaning 24 hours (!) of counting.
Could the joint session recess? It's possible to break at some point if one of the states is challenged (see the statute below) but they would have to restart no later than 10 a.m. the next day. Some sr Dems arguing for no breaks, power through until it's done.
Said @LeaderHoyer on the recess question: "I don’t think we need to go all night … I’ll have to make that judgment though sometime on Wednesday.”

FLASH: @HawleyMO announces he will object during Jan. 6 Electoral College tally, assuring House & Senate votes on Trump's election allegations.
Upshot of this: Hawley is signaling he's object to at least the Pennsylvania votes and is keeping is options open on others. The only question now is whether Jan. 6 is a long day on the Hill or a VERY long day on the Hill.
And make no mistake: These objections are all but certain to be voted down in both chambers. Hawley acknowledges he is only seeking to "raise these critical issues" of state election procedures and Big Tech political meddling.
