Senate Republicans Renounce Trump’s Claim that Election Results May Never be Determined


Senate Republicans, on Thursday Sept. 18th, forcefully rejected Trump’s Suggestion that the 2020 Election Results might Not be Accurately Determined.

Trump, who has frequently made Comments that Undermine Confidence in the Electoral Process and once Suggested Delaying the Election, Tweeted on Thursday morning that the “result may never be accurately determined, which is what some want.”

Trump’s Assertions have been based on Unsubstantiated Claims about Mail-in-Voting, which is expected to be Widespread this year because of the Coronavirus Pandemic. U.S. Intelligence Officials have also Warned that Foreign Actors, including the Russian Government, have Amplified Similar Claims on, Social Media, in Order to Instill Doubt in the Process.

Twitter Officials Flagged Trump’s Tweet as “potentially misleading statement regarding the process of mail-in voting” — and many GOP Senators agreed.

“It’s just not accurate,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Acting Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said when asked whether Trump’s Comment was Inappropriate.

“I don’t think we’ll have inaccurate election results,” Rubio added. “They may take a lot longer than they ever have because of the amount of mailed ballots that are going to come in and so forth. But I don’t have any concerns about the accuracy of the election.”
