UPDATE... Shortly after 1 p.m. today, a group of congressmen and Sen. Ted Cruz officially objected to the electoral votes from Arizona, and both houses of Congress suspended their joint session temporarily to debate the results from Arizona.

Sen. Cruz has now officially called for Congress to appoint an emergency electoral commission which would include 5 Supreme Court Justices along with a handful of lawmakers. He pointed out Wednesday afternoon that the precedent for an electoral commission was set in 1877. Sen. Pat Toomey later scoffed at the idea of an electoral commission in his public remarks from the Senate floor.

DEVELOPING... Meanwhile, the events inside the Capitol have been disrupted and some lawmakers are sheltering in place after some protesters reportedly breached the Capitol. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
