"Once completed, individual states would evaluate the Commission's findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed," the Republican senators wrote. The state's Republican lieutenant governor, Geoff Duncan, told CNN Saturday night that the feeling on the ground there was "very tense," before declining to speak "specifically" about security threats. "They could not and would not give credence to what they know is not true," Biden said. On Saturday, a spokesman for Biden, Mike Gwin, responded to news that a new crop of Republican senators would be objecting to the final certification by dismissing their plans as political theater. "This stunt won't change the fact that President-elect Biden will be sworn in on January 20th," Gwin said, reiterating Biden and the transition's earlier position.
