Roger Marshall

U.S. Senator — Kansas

Sworn in three days before the count, and among the senators who said beforehand that they would object unless Congress ordered an emergency audit. He voted to sustain both objections. The next day he wrote that Joe Biden was the President-elect and that there would be a peaceful transfer of power on January 20. The record of the objection and the record of that acknowledgment both stand.
