In the first sentence you will learn the scope is limited to 2020
> certifying the results of the presidential election, following the deadly Capitol riot
- Mordisquitos 6y ago> Google will not make contributions from its political action committee this cycle to any member of Congress who voted against certifying the results of the presidential election, following the deadly Capitol riot. The full sentence in the article is ambiguous in this regard, as it depends on what clause the subordinate "following the deadly Capitol riot" is specifically referring to. Does it mean this? > Google will not make contributions from its political action committee this cycle to any member of Congress who, [following the deadly Capitol riot,] voted against certifying the results of the presidential election. Or this? > [Following the deadly Capitol riot,] Google will not make contributions from its political action committee this cycle to any member of Congress who voted against certifying the results of the presidential election.
