Richmond, Va. (NewsradioWRVA.com) - With election day coming up tomorrow, Senator Mark Warner says, being chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he hasn't been privy to any foreign interference in the election. However, he is concerned about 'election deniers' who may not accept the results of the election.

He says he's concerned about the actions of these people resulting in the amplification of rhetoric coming out of places like Russia. He says the United States is what the rest of the world looks to as the picture of Democracy. If there are 'sore losers' who refuse to accept results of an election, that goes against what it means to be an American.

He says he would like to believe that those who are saying that they aren't going to accept the results of an election if they lose don't really meant it.

As for the hundreds of thousands of glitches that were found with voter registrations in Virginia, Warner says it's his understanding that those registrations were being processed and that society is stronger when more people vote.
