Recently re-elected Oklahoma U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe paid a virtual visit to the Tulsa Rotary Club this week and spent some time talking about last week’s election.
Inhofe described the presidential election as "not a done deal" and was then asked by a reporter what evidence there is to support claims of voter fraud.
"Oh, well that’s — we’re not supposed to know that yet. I don’t know that yet, and I’m not sure that the president knows that. But he has the investigation going on, and he has a lot of reasons for believing that there is fraud," Inhofe said. "So, I would say to anyone there from the press that has questions about that, you just have to wait just a short period of time until he comes out and says what — as I mentioned — what fraud is out there, would that have impacted three states in such a way that he should not have lost the election."
Inhofe said he was sure going into last week’s election that President Donald Trump would win a second term and that Republicans would hold the Senate and retake the House.
Two out of three so far have not come to pass. Inhofe said even if his predictions were wrong, Republicans reshaped the judicial branch under Trump.
"You’ve got a lot of liberals in your club, I understand that. But those who are conservatives, you ought to be rejoicing right now, because regardless of what happens, we’re going to have 222 conservative judges that are actually going to — read the constitution. You know, that’s kind of a refreshing thing to know has happened," Inhofe said.
Inhofe was re-elected last week to a fifth full Senate term.
