Congressional Republicans have formally objected to the 11 Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden from the state of Arizona, kicking off a series of five such challenges to the 2020 election results to be heard throughout the day.

“I rise up for myself and 60 of my colleagues to object to the counting of the electoral ballots from Arizona,” Congressman Paul Gosar said at a joint session of Congress to certify the election results on Wednesday.
