Daines sends campaign team to Arizona for vote count

Daines Stokes Unfounded Claims Of Voter Fraud For Fundraising Efforts

The campaign of Republican Sen. Steve Daines, who won reelection Tuesday, urged supporters via text Thursday to donate $5 because “Dems are stealing the election. President Trump needs our support.”

Campaign spokesperson Julia Doyle says Daines believes the election should be held fairly and transparently. She did not say why Daines thinks Democrats are stealing the election. Doyle says donations will be used to support the president and recount efforts, and that campaign staff are in Arizona observing the counting process and verifying mismatched signatures.
