Republicans relentlessly have claimed voter fraud in this election, but somehow only in the Presidential race. The senate and house races, which preserved their senate control and the House where they gained seats, are somehow immaculate, despite involving necessarily the same exact corrupt ballots and practices. That is just the very first level of absurdity and hypocrisy revealed at first glance. This being the GOP and Trump, there is of course far more to come.

Only 27 members of the GOP in congress will clearly state that Joe Biden won the election. The rest either say Trump won or gave unclear answers. Presumably this is because they see the results as unreliable. This is disingenuous at best and rampant hypocrisy at worst because of one simple unavoidable fact. Republican members of congress fought election security every step of the way. In Feb 2020, while the GOP president was being impeached for soliciting foreign interference in the 2020 election, GOP senators blocked 3 bills for increased election security from coming to a vote.

“America is 266 days away from the 2020 election, and Majority Leader McConnell has yet to take any concrete steps to protect our foreign elections from hacking or foreign interference,” Wyden said.” per The Hill Feb 11 2020.
