Sen. Lee Notes Electoral College Certification
Dec 14, 2020
WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement Monday after presidential electors met and cast votes in their respective states.

Concerns regarding fraud and irregularities in this election remain active in multiple states, and those concerns need to be addressed by Congress and state and local officials throughout the country.
