I'm not sure about the other examples, but it is true that the House of Representatives voted to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments. That may have been for reasons other than simply believing the spurious claims of election fraud, though.[1] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_election_voting_controversies#Objection_to_certification_of_Ohio%27s_electoral_votes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_election_vo...
