(CNN) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday said "of course" she would accept November's election results as legitimate if President Donald Trump were to win reelection, but added that she and Democrats would not ignore Russian interference in the election. Her comment comes as the coronavirus pandemic has forced states to reconsider traditional voting methods and gravitate toward mail-in voting. Democrats, including Pelosi, have accused Trump of attempting to "suppress the vote" as he continues to question the legitimacy of mail-in voting and falsely claim that mail-in voting will lead to mass voter fraud. Trump has denied his aim is to discourage people from casting their ballots. Pelosi on Sunday urged people to ignore Trump's recent comments questioning the legitimacy of mail-in voting.
