so it does not matter to me whether or not he concedes. what matters to me is whether or not the republican party will step up and help us preserve the integrity of this democracy. we have been the envy of the world, but we have also received a lot of disdain from places around the world. i am old enough to remember nikita khrushchev. i remember that speech at the united nations when he looked out and said, "we will bury you." i will never forget that. and so i do not understand how republicans can allow putin to dictate the fortunes of this country. and that is what is going on here. sen. toomey: if people have seen, if there is evidence of fraud or wrongdoing, by all means, go to federal court, get it corrected, punish the wrongdoers. do what we need to do. that is what i think should

happen. apparently, there will be a lot of lawsuits tomorrow. we will see the evidence, we will see what the allegations are. i have confidence in our federal judiciary to make the right decisions about them, and then we will be able to wrap this up and move on. >> to be clear, you have seen none of the evidence the president's lawyers say they have about your state? sen. toomey: well, to be clear, for instance, there are problems that need to be solved. for instance, in pennsylvania, unfortunately we have a rogue supreme court that violated the u.s. constitution and violated pennsylvania law by declaring that ballots arriving after election day can be counted even though our statute forbids that. so that needs to be adjudicated. those ballots should not be counted -- >> those ballots have not been counted. those ballots have been segregated. sen. toomey: ok. so i think the number is probably not big enough to determine the outcome of the outcome. but observers in philadelphia anyway have not been able to get close enough to understand how that segregation has occurred.

this is the kind of thing that should just be clarified. as i say, i do not think it is going to be nearly a large enough scale to change the outcome of the election, but it is understandable that people would want that corrected. and we should, for a variety of reasons, not least of which is future elections. >> senator, does what the president is saying, does it interfere with the peaceful transfer of power, not just among our leaders, but just among regular americans? sen. romney: well, i think there will be a peaceful transfer of power if there is a change in leadership. that happens in january. until then, the transition team will be working with the trump leadership. i think that will go smoothly. but i do think it is important for the american people to understand that we are a nation of laws. that we allow for recounts. that we investigate irregularities and that these , things go to theou
