Ted Cruz caught on tape outlining plan to challenge 2020 election results.

Sen. Ted Cruz advocated for the creation of a congressionally appointed electoral commission to assess unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, according to a recording made by a former Fox News producer. Cruz successfully organized 11 senators to object to the electoral certification as the mechanism to establish a commission. If a majority of the House and the Senate objected to electoral certification on Jan. 6, 2021, then an electoral commission would be stood up immediately, commencing a 10-day review period to be completed before the inauguration.
