Well, Ron DeSantis would say that, wouldn't he?

But, what did he say when Bob Graham warned that there was election tampering in Florida?

Gov. Ron DeSantis says Russian hacking didn't affect vote totals in 2016

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida’s Secretary of State would “do what’s needed” to shore up elections systems in response to the Mueller Report stating that the FBI believed at least one Florida county was infiltrated by Russian intelligence in 2016.

But DeSantis did not say if there would be further follow-up with the FBI or whether the state would launch its own investigation.

At a news conference Friday at Amway Center before the Orlando Magic’s playoff game with the Toronto Raptors, DeSantis said he had not yet been briefed on the Mueller Report.

“I can tell you from the Secretary of State’s perspective, we want to make sure that this stuff’s protected and we want to have clear, transparent and honest vote totals,” DeSantis said. “I don’t know that the hacking would have affected that. I think it was more some of the voter information, but that’s still very significant. We obviously have an interest in maintaining [honest vote totals].”

You shouldn't even be allowed to say words like "clear, transparent and honest".
Just coming out of his mouth dirties them. To think that we could have had Andrew Gillum and instead we have this trumpy toadie sitting up in Tallahassee...
