The long list of Republicans who voted to reject election results

List includes Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri and a majority of Republican House members

The Senate and the House of Representatives convened on Wednesday to perform what is traditionally seen as a purely ceremonial vote: to certify each state's presidential election results.

At a rally before the vote, Donald Trump continued to baselessly insist that the election results - which he lost to Democrat challenger Joe Biden - were rigged and the US president helped instigate a mob to storm the US Capitol building and halt the process.
