Portman
WASHINGTON, DC On Monday, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) released a statement on the Electoral College vote, acknowledging its vote for former Vice President Joe Biden as the new president-elect.
“In accordance with the Constitution and federal law, the Electoral College cast their votes for President today. The Electors met in their respective state following certification of the results. I think we need to respect this process the Founding Fathers established, and we must respect the will of the voters,” he said.
Portman also stated his belief that charges of voting fraud by President Trump’s campaign were “not widespread enough to change the result of the election.”
