Here is a list of the 8 Congressmen who wanted to adjourn the Electoral College vote count on January 6, 2021:

  • Mo Brooks (R-AL)
  • Andy Biggs (R-AZ)
  • Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
  • Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)
  • Jim Jordan (R-OH)
  • Paul Gosar (R-AZ)
  • Ted Cruz (R-TX

These eight Congressmen objected to the certification of the Electoral College votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania, claiming that there had been widespread voter fraud. However, there is no evidence to support these claims, and the objections were ultimately rejected by Congress.

In addition to these eight Congressmen, there were also several other individuals who wanted to adjourn the Electoral College vote count. These included Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, who were all involved in the Trump campaign’s efforts to overturn the election results.

The attempt to adjourn the Electoral College vote count was a last-ditch effort by Trump and his allies to prevent Joe Biden from becoming president. However, the attempt failed, and Biden was inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States on January 20, 2021.

The individuals you listed are all members of the Republican Party who served in Congress during and after the 2020 Presidential Election. Some of them publicly raised objections during the certification process of the Electoral College votes, a process which took place in a joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021. Here’s a brief summary of their positions:

1. Mo Brooks (R-AL) — He was one of the most vocal objectors to the certification of the Electoral College results.

2. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) — Biggs also objected to the certification of the Electoral College votes.

3. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) — Gohmert filed a lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence in an attempt to overturn the election results. The lawsuit was dismissed.

4. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) — Gaetz supported the objections to the Electoral College certification.

5. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) — Greene, who took office just days before the certification, also supported the objections.

6. Jim Jordan (R-OH) — Jordan was another vocal supporter of objecting to the certification of the Electoral College votes.

7. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) — Gosar objected to the certification of his home state of Arizona’s electoral votes.

8. Ted Cruz (R-TX) — Cruz, a U.S. Senator, led the effort in the Senate to object to the certification of the Electoral College votes.

These objections were based on claims of voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election, claims that have been widely debunked and dismissed by numerous courts, state election officials, and the U.S. Department of Justice.
