U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski issued another press release Sunday, reiterating what she had said on Saturday about her decision to confirm the Electoral College, and said any further attempt to change the results are against the will of the people.
The statement released today came from her and other senators — Five Democrats, four (Murkowski included) Republicans and an Independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party.
Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, joined with Joe Manchin (D-WV), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mark Warner (D-VA), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Angus King (I-ME), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), and Dick Durbin (D-IL) in issuing this statement:
“The 2020 election is over. All challenges through recounts and appeals have been exhausted. At this point, further attempts to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election are contrary to the clearly expressed will of the American people and only serve to undermine Americans’ confidence in the already determined election results. The voters have spoken, and Congress must now fulfill its responsibility to certify the election results. In two weeks, we will begin working with our colleagues and the new Administration on bipartisan, common sense solutions to the enormous challenges facing our country. It is time to move forward.”
