Rep. Mo Brooks Monday insisted that the evidence is "overwhelming and compelling" that there was "serious voter fraud and election theft" in the November presidential election, and that "dozens" of House Republicans who have reached the same conclusions will object to the Electoral College vote returns during congressional confirmation proceedings on Jan. 6. 

"We're going to sponsor and co-sponsor objections to the Electoral College vote returns in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and maybe more, depending on where we collectively want to go," the Alabama Republican, who is leading efforts against the Electoral College's vote for Joe Biden, told Fox News' "Fox & Friends."

The "real issue," though, will be whether there are any senators who are "doing their homework and have studied what happened," and "understand as we do that there has been massive voter fraud and election theft, unlike anything we have seen in American history."

Brooks also slammed Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., and other Republican lawmakers as being "unwilling to do their homework and make tough decisions." Kinzinger had commented Sunday that the push to overturn the Electoral College vote is about prominent Republicans "getting retweets and raising money on this scam" when they know the vote won't be changed.

"If he would do his homework, he could either surrender to the people who support voter fraud and election theft or fight for his country on this particular issue," said Brooks. "There is nothing more important to a republic than having an election system that is honest and accurate. Will everyone listening to my voice go to the 2005 Commission on Federal Elections report, co-sponsored or co-authored by Democrat President Jimmy Carter and White House chief of staff James Baker? They identified the very same problems that we faced in this election. They warned us this was going to happen, and for 15 years Congress did nothing as this election was stolen just as they prophesied."
