(WILX) - The National Council on Election Integrity — a group of more than 40 former elected officials, Cabinet secretaries, military officials, and civic leaders — issued a statement as major news outlets have called the 2020 presidential race for Joe Biden.
“There is now an apparent winner in the presidential contest. We can all be proud of the manner in which we conducted this election. We had record voter turnout," they said in a press release. "We had thousands of state and local election officials and volunteers — our friends and neighbors — who worked hard in the middle of a global pandemic to ensure our elections were safe, secure, and transparent. Our nation owes them a debt of gratitude. Over the next few weeks, it is important to remember that we are a nation of laws. And within those laws, any candidate may pursue recounts and other legal recourse. It is also important to remember that in the United States of America, voters determine the winners of elections — and voters had their say. As Republicans, Democrats, and independents, we all need to come together as a nation to take on the challenges before us. That is true today more than ever.”
