While he acknowledged the result of the fraudulent election, DeSantis voiced concerns over the election’s management, citing COVID-19 related changes to voting rules, mail-in ballots, and the censorship of the Hunter Biden story by the FBI in collaboration with tech companies.
“When they changed the rules for COVID, I think that was wrong. I think some of those changes were unconstitutional. When they do mass mail ballots, I think that’s wrong. I think ballot harvesting is wrong. I think the Zuckerbucks were wrong. I think the fact that the FBI was working with Facebook and these other tech companies to censor the Hunter Biden story was wrong. And so I don’t think it was the perfect election,” said DeSantis.
DeSantis pointed blame towards President Donald Trump for some of these issues, citing the CARES Act, which funded mail-in ballots across the country and was signed by Trump.
