2020 ELECTION/MITCH MCCONNELL: “Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday [Nov. 6, 2020] called for ‘every legal vote’ to be counted and said, ‘all sides must get to observe the process.’

‘Here’s how this must work in our great country: Every legal vote should be counted. Any illegally-submitted ballots must not. All sides must get to observe the process. And the courts are here to apply the laws & resolve disputes. That’s how Americans’ votes decide the result,’ McConnell tweeted.

The remarks could be read as McConnell throwing some support to President Trump, though McConnell stopped far short of making claims about fraud that Trump has repeatedly stated on Twitter and in remarks at a White House briefing.”
