The Senate Homeland Security Committee recently heard testimony
regarding voting irregularities in the 2020 election.
During Wednesday’s hearing, lawmakers heard from several
witnesses, including former Director of the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency Christopher Krebs and Elections
Commissioner Donald Palmer.
Attorney James Troupis suggested the left urged the Supreme
Court to ignore substantive issues within the election, including
claims of voter fraud. He argued that Democrats have continued to
fail in rebutting irregularities while choosing to ignore them
instead.
Committee chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) also blasted ranking
Democrat Gary Peters (D-Mich.) after the Michigan senator accused
Johnson of amplifying disinformation.
Johnson has made it very clear that there’s no denying fraud
occurred during this election and lawmakers have a responsibility
to Americans to provide clarity. Many Republicans on the panel said
changes must be made regarding election law in the future.

Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) pointed out that a court’s
decision to dismiss a case alleging voter fraud doesn’t mean
fraud did not take place.
During the hearing Wednesday, the Kentucky senator asked former
Solicitor General Ken Starr if the cases were dismissed for
procedural reasons. Starr agreed and went on to say the best
example of this was the Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss a
Texas lawsuit contesting election results in four battleground
states.

Sen. Paul said it’s important to recognize the courts are not
stating that there was no fraud.
