As a congressman, Boyle supported the impeachment of President Donald Trump and introduced the Standardizing Testing and Accountability Before Large Elections Giving Electors Necessary Information for Unobstructed Selection Act, also known as the Stable Genius Act, in 2018.
Speaking on Newstalk this morning, Boyle said that he felt that the Presidential election will come down to three key states – Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
“It looks like best two out of three,” he said.
“That whichever candidate is able to carry are least two of the three, will win this election.
“That’s assuming that Joe Biden does win Arizona – one of the networks had already called it for him, he’s up by a pretty good margin there.
“But it still hasn’t been hasn’t been put to bed.”
