U.S. Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) will be formally challenging the Electoral College vote. 

“An unprecedented number of Americans have significant doubts about the integrity of 2020 presidential election results,” Daines wrote in a statement. 

The Electoral College vote is set for certification on Jan. 6. 

Eleven Republican senators are challenging the votes. 

“I believe it is important that we agree to hear the concerns of Americans, and that’s why I believe it’s important that we form the electoral commission,” Daines said. “To answer the questions outstanding, find resolution and protect the democratic process. Once completed, individual contested states would evaluate the commission’s findings, and if necessary could convene [a] special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed.”
