Democrats on the panel spent Monday\u2019s hearing criminalizing objections to the certification of election results in the Electoral College. Some of the same members, however, objected to the 2017 certification of the 2016 results, alleging Russian interference. In fact, Democrats objected to more states in 2017 than Republicans did last year \u2014 and they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2017\/08\/17\/trump-russia-investigation-congress-fundraising-241491\">fundraised<\/a> off of it.
