Senator Charles Grassley (R) says the transition had already begun for President Elect Joe Biden whose victory was affirmed by Monday’s Electoral College vote.

The Electoral College’s final tally resulted in 306 votes cast for Joe Biden and 232 for Donald Trump. Speaking to KCII Monday afternoon Senator Grassley said the presumed winner of the Electoral College vote would be Joe Biden, though he said that won’t stop anyone who wants to pose any legal or constitutional challenges to the election. He says that could be President Trump, but those individuals are protected by the constitution to do so, “It brings my attention more to all the things that were talked about being wrong in this election and I think there were plenty of things that were wrong. Whether there was enough wrong to overturn the election, I guess we’re finding out that it doesn’t look like there’s enough of that.”

Grassley recommends that state legislatures look at their absentee voting laws to make sure that they prevent any illegal voting. According to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research institute, the last voter fraud criminal conviction in Iowa happened in 2017.
