Vice President Mike Pence is doubling down on the Trump administration’s efforts to challenge the results of the presidential election.
“We’re going to keep fighting until every legal vote is counted. We’re going to keep fighting until every illegal vote is thrown out and we will never stop fighting to make America great again,” Pence said at a rally for Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in Georgia Friday.
He added, “That’s why President Trump and I need David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler back in the Republican majority in the United States Senate.”

In a video he posted to Facebook Wednesday, Trump promised he would continue to fight the results, as IJR previously reported.
“The constitutional process must be allowed to continue. We are going to defend the honesty of the vote by ensuring that every legal ballot is counted and that no illegal ballot is counted,” Trump said.
On Tuesday, the Trump campaign filed another lawsuit to challenge results in Wisconsin, as IJR previously reported.
“Today’s suit includes four cases with clear evidence of unlawfulness, such as illegally altering absentee ballot envelopes, counting ballots that had no required application, overlooking unlawful claims of indefinite confinement, and holding illegal voting events called Democracy in the Park,” the campaign said in a statement.
During his phone interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo Sunday, Trump said his “mind will not change in six months” on the election results.
He continued, “There was tremendous cheating here.”
The president accused the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) of not showing up to investigate his baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud.
“Missing in action, can’t tell you where they are,” Trump said.
According to Attorney General William Barr, the DOJ has “not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election.”
