Sen. John Fetterman on Sunday defended the integrity of Pennsylvania’s 2020 election, rejected claims that hundreds of thousands of noncitizens are on the state’s voter rolls, and said renewed focus on the election distracts from more pressing issues, including the conflict with Iran.

The Pennsylvania Democrat, who served as his state’s lieutenant governor during the 2020 election, said the state’s election “was absolutely secure, fair and accurate.”

“I’ve appeared on your network and many other networks at that time,” Fetterman said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “The election was absolutely secure, fair and accurate. That was the voice of Pennsylvania. And they picked Joe Biden in 2020. That’s a fact.”

Fetterman’s comments came in response to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s allegations last week that more than 250,000 noncitizens are on voter rolls in several states, including Pennsylvania, and warned election officials they could face penalties if they fail to cooperate with the Trump administration’s review.

Fetterman said he has seen no evidence to support allegations that hundreds of thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote.

“Until I see evidence that over a quarter million migrants are registered to vote, then, yeah, that would make me reconsider some of these things,” he said. “But there’s no evidence, and I don’t expect that we’ll see any of that.”

He also questioned why the Trump administration continues to revisit the 2020 election.
