It has now been three weeks since Americans voted in the presidential election, and still, questions remain about its outcome.
Joe Biden is moving forward with the transition despite no official concession to have come from incumbent President Donald Trump, who is vowing to fight on.
During an appearance on Mobile’s FM Talk 106.5 on Monday, U.S. Rep.-elect Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) warned what could happen if the public lost faith in the U.S. election process, which he suggested underscored the value in Trump’s effort.
“I am very concerned,” he said. “I tell you Jeff — like I said early, we govern with the consent of the people. And if the people do not have confidence in the process, then we are illegitimate. And I think we have to make sure that the integrity of the election process is protected, regardless of where we draw the lines in the sand and how we fight this — we need to verify the votes that were cast were legitimate, they were honest and above board and this thing has not been hijacked. I’m encouraged that the president is continuing to fight.”
Moore, who was recently elected to represent Alabama’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this month, described the circumstances surrounding the presidential election as “fishy,” adding the election should not be certified if it cannot be verified.
“I am also troubled by a lot of the inconsistencies we’re seeing in some of the Dominion data that’s coming back — the way some of the things seemed to have flipped from Trump to Biden,” Moore continued. “And then, mail-in process and how you need to verify signatures. I don’t think — and this is just Barry Moore speaking, I don’t have any more information than probably the average American — I don’t think that we lost this race the way they’re trying to say that Trump was just beat and Biden turned out all these many million voters. I don’t have that feel. I think that something fishy is going on and we need to get to the bottom of it. And these state legislatures and these groups around the country — they don’t need to certify it if they can’t verify it.”
