“There were I guess a handful of people in Colorado who were found, or at least investigated,” he said.
“I think it’s important that we have integrity in our election.”
Gardner called the U.S. electoral process “one of the most sacred things we have in this country.”
“We went through a very divisive campaign. We had a lot of discussions about the impact that Russian hacks had or did not have throughout this process,” he said.
“But the bottom line is we need an electoral process that stands up to the integrity and test for the American people.”
Gardner said if there is evidence that voter fraud cost the president the popular vote, the country should “let the American people see.”
Trump on Wednesday announced he would ask for a “major investigation” into voter fraud in the country.
He said during a White House meeting with congressional leaders earlier this week he lost the popular vote because of rampant voter fraud by “illegals.”
