A plan by conservative lawmakers loyal to President Donald Trump to challenge the election results in Congress will 'go down like a shot dog,' a top Republican senator warned. Republican Senator John Thune of South Dakota, a member of GOP leadership, warned the effort will get no where with the upper chamber. Even staunch Trump loyalists like Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have expressed doubts about challenging the electoral college outcome. And Trump said this weekend he had spoken to incoming Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, who has said he could join the effort, about the matter. There has been no proof of massive voter fraud, the Trump campaign has lost multiple lawsuits trying to over turn the election results and the president's own administration said the election was fairly run.
