Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) on Dec. 16 defended the Senate committee hearing dealing with election “irregularities,” noting that poll results indicate that more Americans believe fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election than those who believed Russians sought to interfere in the 2016 election.
A poll in December 2016 showed 32 percent of Americans thought Russia influenced the outcome of that year’s election, Lankford said at the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing.
