Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.) said Tuesday on MSNBC that his push for more information on Russian interference in last November's election is "not about relitigating 2016."
Warner sent a letter Tuesday to the Department of Homeland Security, calling on Secretary John Kelly to "disclose additional information on the full scope of foreign attempts to interfere in the 2016 elections by hacking into, or attempting to target, state and local election systems."
"I am deeply concerned about the danger of future foreign interference in our elections," Warner wrote.
"Meet the Press Daily" host Chuck Todd asked Warner about his letter.
"Are you at all concerned it could create a little panic?" Todd asked.
"We're not trying to create a panic, we're not trying to relitigate the 2016 election or embarrass any state," Warner said.
He went on to explain that he was focused primarily on keeping the American state-level electoral systems safe from further interference.
"There has been a lot of comfort taken by officials both in the Obama administration and the Trump administration who have said definitively we have had no evidence, no proof, no anything that any vote totals were altered," Todd said. "Do you still have that same level of confidence given the more information we're learning about the state level of hacks?"
"I do have a high level of confidence that no individual vote totals were changed. Again, this is not about relitigating 2016," Warner repeated.
"But if we show you how extensive the Russian attempts were to penetrate state systems, that I think will put us on a higher level of guard and security," he added.
