  • State Sen. William Ligon releases a report based on testimony from the Dec. 3 hearing at which Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and others made unsubstantiated allegations. Ligon’s report restates the various fraud claims without rebuttal from election officials. It calls for a special legislative session and says the General Assembly should “determine the proper electors” if a majority of lawmakers concur with his findings.
