McConnell Warns Against Rejecting Voters

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) began Senate debate over Arizona’s 11 electoral votes with an emotional plea against rejecting the voters’ will, the Washington Post reports.

Said McConnell: “Nothing before us proves illegality anywhere near the massive scale — the massive scale — that would have tipped the entire election. Nor can public doubt alone justify a radical break when the doubt itself was incited without any evidence.”

He added: “Voters, the courts, and the states have all spoken — they’ve all spoken. If we overrule them, it would damage our republic forever… our democracy would enter a death spiral.”
