Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said that legal challenges to the election “elevate democracy,” and compared the questions of mail-in vote security to whether Americans would trust mailing a winning lottery ticket.

“Everybody’s entitled to their opinion—this is America,”  Sen. Kennedy told Fox News on Dec. 3 as he noted court challenges had caused uproar in the media, among many Democrats and with some Republicans. “The president has every right to offer his opinion about the election.”
