OHIO — After a day of chaos at the Capitol building, Congress worked throughout the night to confirm the Electoral College's votes to certify the 2020 presidential election results. At 3:40 a.m., the votes were final: President-elect Joe Biden received 306 votes, and President Donald Trump received 232 votes. 

But some Ohio Congress members stuck to their word to object the votes in order to overturn the election. 

While most state Republicans didn't back the effort, five did: Reps. Jim Jordan Bob Gibbs, Warren Davidson and Steve Chabot. Gibbs, Jordan, Johnson and Davidson voted to reject Arizona's count. Chabot then joined them later to object Pennsylvania's votes.

None of the objections went through. 

Jordan went on to say that the mob of protests that swarmed the Capitol Wednesday, which halted the certification for hours, was "proof" as to how Trump didn't receive less votes than President-elect Joe Biden. 

Despite Trump's and other Republicans claims that the election was rigged, elections officials found no evidence of voter fraud. 

On the floor, Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman condemned the objections and the attempt to overturn the election, saying that Congress doesn't hold the power — voters do. 

“What the Constitution makes clear is people and the states hold the power. Not us," Portman said. He also said that Congress will not be intimidated by the riots and protests that took place earlier that day. 

On Wednesday afternoon, groups supporting Trump gathered at the Capitol, storming the steps and breaking into the building. At one point, there was a stand off between Capitol police and a mob outside the doors of the House floor. Congress members had to be taken to a undisclosed area for safety, and were handed gas masks as a precaution. In order to contain the groups, the entire D.C. National Guard was activated, and police departments from neighboring states were called in. 

Washington, D.C.'s mayor implemented a 6 p.m. curfew. Shortly after at 8 p.m., Congress reconvened on the floor and got back to work. 

Officials confirmed four people died during the chaos, and many more were hurt. Ohio public officials condemned the efforts, and Republican lawmakers who backed Trump called on the president repeatedly to put the riots to an end. 

“As a nation of laws, this is simply not acceptable," Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement. Lt. Gov. Jon Husted echoed his comments, saying, "It does not look like America."

Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Renacci said, "What we saw yesterday, you would expect to see in third world countries."

Both U.S. attorneys for Northern and Southern Ohio warned that if any Ohioans took part in vandalism at the Capitol, they will be found and prosecuted accordingly. 

Make no mistake... Federal crimes were committed today at our nation’s Capital building. Anyone who traveled from the Southern District of Ohio with the intent to commit such crimes will be prosecuted in the Southern District of Ohio.

Attorney General Dave Yost also released a statement, saying the law is the law. 

"The rule of law means the same rules for everybody. Those of us who called for prosecution of the people who stormed the federal courthouse in Portland must apply the same demand to those who stormed the Capitol today. The color of your skin or the slogan upon your banner must not change what is and is not acceptable," Yost wrote.
