About the rioters and extremists of January 6, I watched the proceedings on Jan. 6. Congress had just started to read the state by state results in alphabetical order. The first two responding states Alabama, Alaska said that their count was good. The representative from Arizona said that there were some problems with Arizona’s ballots so the ballot counting was suspended and the various representatives got up and started going to their offices. At this time a noises started outside the House of Representative doors and representatives started trying to get out of the room. We never heard what happened with the count. We hadn’t heard from all the other states? Was the election actually certfied? It looked like a big charade to me.
Sure we did. Congress reconvened later that night and finished the certification. There was one additional challenge - Pennsylvania if I recall correctly - but the rest were accepted and the count was certified.
