Reports indicate that the GOP is formulating a plan to challenge the election results and are working closely with President Trump to do so.
According to Town Hall:
Several members of Congress just finished a meeting in the Oval Office with President @realDonaldTrump, preparing to fight back against mounting evidence of voter fraud.
Stay tuned.

According to Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), a number of Republican legislators have questions about voting irregularities that took place.
…
It’s important to note that Brooks’ effort to lead the fight are rooted in personal experience. When he first ran for the Alabama House in 1982, 11 of the 45 voting machines that were used were allegedly rigged for Democrats, the Washington Examiner reported. Poll workers spotted the mistake and allowed Brooks supporters to tally their votes on a sheet of paper on the wall. He ended up coming out of the race victorious with 57 percent of the vote. Based on his personal experience and what he’s seen, he fully believes the presidential results “are wrong” and no one knows just how wrong things actually are.
Brooks believes Trump’s path to victory is no longer in the courts but rather in the House of representatives. As the House moves to certify the election results, they most go state-by-state. All it takes is one representative and one senator to object to that state’s results. The congressman says those states that are called into question should be thrown out. If that happens in enough battleground states then neither Trump nor Biden would hit the 270 electoral votes to win the Electoral College. That would mean the House would pick the president.
Under the Constitution, according to Brooks, should the House have to pick the president, each state gets just one vote. That one vote is based on what party controls the state House. The GOP runs 26 state Houses, meaning the Republicans pick who will be the next president.
Brooks also stated that he thinks multiple Senators have questions, as well.
.@realdonaldtrump deserves his day in court, AND we are definitely going to give him his day in Congress.
We have a rapidly growing group of House Members and Senators.
Jan 6 challenge is on. 🇺🇸
