Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson States Election Was Legitimate

(AP) -U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson has acknowledged that Democrat Joe Biden is the president-elect and the election was legitimate, and says he won’t object when Congress meets next month to tabulate the Electoral College results.

“We have all kinds of examples of fraud and we know a large percentage of the American public just simply don’t think this was a legitimate election. That’s an unsustainable state of affairs for our country. We have to have confidence in our elections, we need to restore that confidence. One of the ways to do that is with oversight hearings, point out what went wrong so things can be corrected and controls can be put in place for the next election,” Sen. Johnson explained Tuesday as he appeared on “Mornings with Maria” on FOX News.

However, Johnson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview Tuesday that he still has unanswered questions about the election and that he plans to move ahead with a Senate homeland security committee hearing on Wednesday to look into “legitimate questions” about “irregularities.”  Congress is set to meet on Jan. 6 to receive the results of the 50 states’ Electoral College votes cast on Monday.
