Johnson Discusses Election Integrity, Electoral Commission on Fox News
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) discussed his support for creating an electoral commission to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election returns from disputed states during an interview on Fox News’ “Outnumbered Overtime” Tuesday, ahead of Wednesday’s Electoral College count.
Excerpts from the interview are below and video of the interview can be found here.
“I think the main problem from my standpoint is you have so many people in the mainstream media, certainly Democrats, who just want to sweep this under the rug, that just want to dismiss these very serious and legitimate concerns of what happened during the 2020 election.”
“One of the issues I think we want to make is state legislatures are empowered by the Constitution to set the time, manner and place of elections. Yet many state legislatures abdicated to unelected judges, unelected election officials. We’ve seen it time and time again. Maybe this is the warning to state legislatures: if you don’t want your citizens, their votes, disenfranchised, not counted, step up to the plate. Assume your responsibility, take control over your own elections. Don’t let judges, don’t let election officials do it for you.”
