The Senate overwhelmingly rejected an objection to Arizona's electoral votes with a final vote of 6-93.
Those who voted to object to the state's electoral votes included Sens.
The objection proceedings that began earlier today were disrupted after President Donald Trump's supporters overwhelmed Capitol Police to protest the election, storming the Capitol Hill building.
Many Senate Republicans condemned the violence and some even criticized their Republican colleagues for protesting the electoral votes that were certified by the states.
"The best way we can show respect for the voters who are upset is by telling them the truth," he said.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a frequent ally of the president, said that he had had enough protests of the vote.
The senate continued Wednesday evening debating a second objection to the election results from Pennslyvania.
