October 2022: During The Third Debate Kiggans Still Did Not Answer If Biden Fairly Won The 2020 Election And Said, “We’ve Got To Restore Strength And Confidence In The Way We Conduct Elections.” “Following a question about election integrity, Luria accused her opponent of jumping on the ‘election denier train’ and said real dangers arose from perpetuating lies about voter fraud. The congresswoman slammed Kiggans for being one of four state senators who voted for a $70 million budget amendment to conduct an audit of the 2020 presidential election results in Virginia. The measure did not pass. ‘I haven’t heard her have any concerns about the 2021 election because, of course, she was pleased with that outcome,’ Luria said, presumably referencing Glenn Youngkin’s victory in Virginia’s gubernatorial election. Kiggans — who has repeatedly dodged questions about whether she acknowledges President Joe Biden was fairly elected — said election integrity is one of her top priorities. ‘We’ve got to restore strength and confidence in the way we conduct elections,’ she said.” [Virginian Pilot, 10/26/22]
