“We will see if this is a legal and valid election,” Stefanik, a member of House GOP leadership and a Donald Trump ally, said in an interview with “Meet the Press.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., on Sunday wouldn’t commit to certifying the 2024 election results during an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

While interviewing Stefanik, who serves in House Republican leadership, host Kristen Welker asked, “Would you vote to certify, and will you vote to certify, the results of the 2024 election no matter what they show?”

Stefanik, who has boosted former President Donald Trump’s baseless claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, said that she did not vote to certify the 2020 results in the state of Pennsylvania and several other states because there were “unconstitutional acts circumventing the state legislature and unilaterally changing election law.”

    Nah, too gruesome and we’re better than that.

    Publicly exposing them for the liars they are, ejecting them from public offices for life, putting them on registries, etc. is better.

    It requires though that we start defining a baseline truth in news and facts. I know that there are risks of fascism taking over through that through propaganda, but if we can ensure that news and facts are based on reality, science, etc, then we have a chance of getting it done right
