McCain: 'No Evidence That the Election Would Have Been Different'
(CNSNews.com) - Amid all the talk of Russian hacking, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says there's no reason to think that Russian activity changed the outcome of the election.
"I have seen no evidence that the voting machines were tampered with...I have seen no evidence that the election would have been different," McCain told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "But that doesn't change the fact that the Russians and others, Chinese to a lesser degree, have been able to interfere with our electoral process."
McCain, a longstanding critic of Russia and President Vladimir Putin, is calling for a select congressional committee to "get to the bottom" of the Russian hacking. Some Trump opponents believe the leak of Democrat emails before the election contributed to Hillary Clinton's defeat. The WikiLeaks email dump became more of an issue after the election than they ever were before it.
