John Neely Kennedy in January 6 Capitol Riot

On Government Reform: Ensuring election transparency is a noble goal

Five Congress members from Louisiana voted against certifying some states' Electoral College votes overnight, hours after four people died in a "failed insurrection" at the U.S. Capitol building. The votes against certification were mostly symbolic because Republicans never had enough votes to overcome a bipartisan majority and change the results. Sen. Kennedy voted for the objection to Arizona but not Pennsylvania.

Sen. Kennedy said in a statement that he went to the Capitol to give a voice to Louisianians who were concerned about election integrity. "I joined several Senate colleagues in calling for a bipartisan commission to inspect election issues raised across the country," Kennedy said. "Our proposal was not successful, but our goal to ensure full confidence and transparency in our elections - for all Americans - is a noble one, and I'll keep pursuing it."
