The Wednesday protest by President Donald Trump protesters was not limited to the Congress alone as hundreds of mobs stormed other State Capitols.
While US Congress was forced to stall the counting of the Electoral College votes and lawmakers hurried out of the building after protesters broke into the Capitol in Washington,
hundreds of people gathered in state capitals from Georgia to New Mexico on the same day.
Some of them eschewed masks and some carried guns in places like Oklahoma, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.
In Georgia, the secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, and his staff were evacuated from their offices at the state Capitol after about 100 protesters gathered, some armed with long guns.
Also in New Mexico, hundreds of flag-waving Trump supporters arrived in a vehicle caravan and on horseback, forcing police to evacuate staff from a statehouse building that included the governor’s office and the secretary of state’s office as a precaution.
Elsewhere, Trump supporters circled the state Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, in cars and trucks adorned with Trump and US flags, blaring their horns.
In Colorado, the Denver mayor, Michael Hancock, ordered city agencies to close buildings after hundreds gathered in front of the Capitol building to protest against the election results.
And in South Carolina, protesters supporting Trump came to the statehouse but left before the US Capitol was breached.
In Utah, the staff of Governor Spencer Cox was sent home as several hundred people gathered in Salt Lake City, the lieutenant governor, Deidre Henderson tweeted.
The same was experienced in Oregon Capitol and Honolulu Capitol with one person arrested in the former.
