She said she has concerns about election security nationally after 2020, but she’s been impressed by Warner’s work to remove people from the voting rolls who he said weren’t eligible to vote. In an interview this past week, Warner called the alleged actions “treasonous” and said they need to be examined more deeply before the next election. It’s these allegations Warner says he finds credible, pushing past the denials by social media executives and federal law enforcement that they were pressured by Democrats to suppress the story. He has embraced broader claims that tech companies, the media and federal intelligence officials colluded to cover up incriminating information found on the laptop of Biden’s son Hunter. Trump himself has fanned those accusations, though he has recently shifted his complaints somewhat from specific disputes about voting procedures in swing states.

They persist in those views despite repeated investigations, audits and court cases concluding there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud or improper counting that could have changed the results in Donald Trump’s favor.
