Avenues to Voter Fraud Have No Place in Coronavirus Bill

We always knew that liberals considered federalizing control over elections to be an important priority. We just never dreamed it was more important than fighting the coronavirus pandemic or preserving American jobs.

For years, both of us have testified before Congress about progressive designs to take over control from state election officials. Progressives long for federal mandates over how we vote, when we vote, and who gets to collect absentee ballots.

When Democrats took control of the House after the 2018 election, one of the many bad ideas they crammed into HR 1, the very first bill out of the chute, included “reforms” that would help Washington micromanage all elections.

Those reforms that will make it easier to manipulate election outcomes and commit fraud—mandatory early voting, mail ballots, and same-day registration, as well as legalization of ballot harvesting—are now back in play, as part of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s massive $2.5 trillion coronavirus bill.  Source: Paul Broun for Congress
