The Signal-
Rep. Mike Garcia, R-Santa Clarita, issued a statement Monday calling for a closer examination and audit of the 2020 presidential election results, saying he has decided to vote in favor of rejecting some states’ electoral votes.
“While I am a federalist, I do believe there is enough evidence of compromised processes and breakdowns in election integrity by certain state legislatures that do in fact warrant a closer examination,” read Garcia’s statement, in part. “We need a full forensic audit of several states to ensure all Americans have confidence in our elections.”
The congressman described the 2020 election, in which the Electoral College voted in mid-December to cement President-elect Joe Biden as the victor over President Donald Trump, as “some of the most divisive and polarizing moments in our nation’s brief history.”
