In addition to U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s (R-Ga.) challenge of Georgia’s 16 Electoral College votes, U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) is seeking other senators to make challenges. 

“I will vote to give President Trump and the American people the fair hearing they deserve and support the objection to the Electoral College certification process,” Loeffler wrote in a statement Monday.

The challenge comes after several allegations of voter irregularities across the country. 

In Georgia, several issues including the improper handling of ballots and questionable barcodes were reported. 

“Progress made. NEED more! LOTS of Congressmen object to AZ GA MI NV PA WI electoral college votes. In Senate, Hawley=PA Cruz=AZ Loeffler=GA, so battle engaged there. STILL NEED SENATORS FOR MI NV WI! America - urge your senators to fight voter fraud & election theft!” Brooks said in a tweet.  

Brooks is looking to the U.S. Senate for members to take up challenges to the Electoral College votes in contested states. 

He has taken the lead in Congress in contesting the election. 

Brooks previously said Congress has the “final verdict” on who is named president. 

“My No. 1 goal is to fix a badly flawed American election system that too easily permits voter fraud and election theft,” Brooks told the New York Times. “A possible bonus from achieving that goal is that Donald Trump would win the Electoral College officially, as I believe he in fact did if you only count lawful votes by eligible American citizens and exclude all illegal votes.”
