“Because we’re divided” as a nation, “we’re in trouble” on getting an accurate count, said former Tennessee Republican Rep. Zach Wamp, a member of the National Council on Election Integrity, a bipartisan group of former elected officials and retired military officers formed to monitor the legitimacy of the election.
In a conference call with reporters, Wamp and former Rep. Tim Roemer, an Indiana Democrat, warned of court challenges that could delay results and impact on the validity of absentee military ballots.
“We have no way of predicting the number of lawyers that are going to descend into the system,” Roemer said.
