  1. A bid by Republicans to object to Michigan's electoral results, which certified President-elect Joe Biden's win, failed tonight in a joint session of Congress.
  2. The objection was raised by Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who confirmed that it was in writing but had not been signed by a senator.
  3. Because the objection lacked the signature, Vice President Mike Pence rejected the action.
  4. "In that case, the objection cannot be entertained," Pence said, drawing applause from members of Congress.
  5. And as a result, the objection failed.
