The remarkable images of protestors storming the US Capitol and vandalizing the chambers of Congress were not the only demonstrations at mostly peaceful “Stop the Steal” protests taking place throughout the country in opposition to widespread vote fraud.
The state capitols in Atlanta, Georgia and Topeka, Kansas also saw protestors breach the buildings, according to the Post Millennial and other sources.

The protests occurred after the anger and outrage over the Nov. 3 election spilled over into the normally routine confirmation process.
They also came a day after special elections in Georgia gave radical Democrats both of the once-conservative state’s seats and secured the Senate majority for Democrats.

The Georgia special election was, like the presidential election, fraught with irregularities, including reports of Dominion Voting Systems’ machines breaking down in Republican-heavy districts.
Despite a curfew implemented by Washington, DC, mayor Muriel Bowser that was set to take effect at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, images showed many protestors remained gathered at the National Mall, playing music.
