In a letter on Nov. 18, House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and House Oversight Committee ranking member Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) want immediate hearings to “examine the integrity of the 2020 election amid troubling reports of irregularities and improprieties.”
The letter, addressed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and House Oversight Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), called for them to “fully examine” allegations of election errors and misconduct.
“Given your role as leaders of a political party that spent four years baselessly calling into question the legitimacy of the 2016 election with debunked allegations of Russian collusion, you owe it to all Americans to fully examine allegations of actual election errors and misconduct,” they wrote.
“Democrats ignored this report, but many of our predictions have unfortunately come true,” the two stated.
“These serious concerns give rise to the urgent need for congressional oversight of the integrity of the 2020 election,” the Republicans wrote. “Our committees must conduct oversight hearings to ensure that Americans have faith in the integrity of our election. We ask that you work with us to schedule and plan these hearings as soon as possible.”
“We warned in our report that this change would create ‘considerable risk for uncertainty and litigation’—and it did,” they wrote. “Litigation about this last-minute change is currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, and Pennsylvania is still counting mail-in and absentee ballots.”
Local officials in some counties in Pennsylvania have been alleged to have restricted campaign watchers from properly observing the processing and counting of the mail-in ballots, the two also noted.
People reported across the state having received multiple ballots, Jordan and Comer noted.
Nadler and Maloney’s press representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment on the letter.
A number of media outlets declared Democratic nominee Joe Biden as president-elect on Nov. 7; President Donald Trump has alleged voter fraud and said any declarations of victory are premature. His campaign has mounted legal challenges in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan, over a variety of alleged voting irregularities.
