The 2020 U.S. election saw Donald Trump lose to Democratic opponent, Joe Biden. In the aftermath of the election, Donald Trump and his supporters spread false information that the election had been rigged - and that the real winner was Trump. Despite a lack of evidence to support this claim, 139 members of the House of Representatives and eight members of the Senate voted against the certification of the election results.
