Sad, really, many more of the "alt" sites are going the way of the MSM with bogus headlines and unfounded assumptions.
At JusttheNews (similar at The Blaze and a number of other sites), we have this misleading headline:
After Capitol tragedy, Congress votes down GOP effort to overturn Biden win in Arizona
A. "Tragedy" is a joke lame word for what happened today, and the article did not address a word to it. The only "tragedy" is that an unarmed veteran was shot in cold blood rather than any attempt made to block or detain her, and that the murderer will not be prosecuted.
B. The text of the article merely (correctly) states that Congress had voted down the objection to accepting the results out of Arizona and formally accepted the Biden slate of electors.
The actual objection did NOT seek to "overturn" a damn thing:
Congressman Paul Gosar and Senator Ted Cruz formally objected to Arizona’s Electoral College results during a joint meeting of the House and Senate on Wednesday. Their objection starts a two-hour debate on the floor of Congress.
Congressman Paul Gosar also rose, objecting to the Arizona electors.
“I rise to ask that the Vice President, remand the electors back to Arizona pending a full forensic audit of the Maricopa County tabulations.”
Gosar spoke first, saying he objected to the counting of the votes. Vice President Mike Pence then asked whether the objection was in writing and signed by a senator and Cruz answered, “It is.”
The basis of the objection was on the grounds that the votes “were not under all of the known circumstances, regularly given.”
