ELECTION REFORM: Efforts underway in key battleground states to return voting systems to pre-2020 rules

13

It’s the only thing that matters – without election reform, the nation is finished.

President Trump discussed this in his speech at CPAC. The Democrats were able to use the COVID-19 pandemic to change the voting laws in a number of swing states. This resulted in massive levels of mail-in voting, expanded early voting, relaxation of verification rules, and extensions to ballot receipt deadlines. The Republican Party must ensure that the state legislators return the voting systems to pre-2020 rules. If not, it will be next to impossible for the Republican Party to win future national elections. Election integrity should be the number 1 priority for Team Trump.

Efforts underway in key battleground states to return voting systems to pre-2020 rules

By Just the News, March 1, 2021:

Legislators looking to roll back major changes to mail-in voting, early voter lists.

Significant legislative attempts are underway in multiple U.S. states, including key battleground states, to roll back major changes in voting rules and regulations to various pre-2020 status quo antes. The efforts come after an historically chaotic election process that has left millions of Americans doubtful of election fairness, security, transparency and accountability.

Changes to election rules — some of them enacted prior to 2020 and others put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic last year — have included expansive mail-in voting, expanded early voting, relaxation of verification rules, and extensions to ballot receipt deadlines.

Those rules likely contributed to a record 158,000,000-plus votes cast in the 2020 election. But the relaxation of various voting requirements has also led to significant distrust in the election system: Nearly 40% of voters believe that U.S. elections are beset by fraud, while a similar number claim that such concerns haven’t been properly vetted by public authorities.

Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona all considering bills to roll back rule changes

Legislators in numerous states are angling to address some of those concerns by pushing for legislation to shore up what critics claim are the vulnerabilities created by relaxed voting rules.

In Georgia — which flipped blue for Biden this year in one of several razor-thin races that went in the Democrat’s favor — the Senate passed a bill that would require voters to submit “photocopies of voter identification documents for absentee ballot applications.”

The bill would do away with the current signature-matching system currently in place for absentee voting. Critics have accused that system of being ripe for fraud and abuse, particularly after the state’s Gov. Brian Kemp agreed to activist demands last year to make it much more onerous for officials to reject disputed signatures.

In Pennsylvania — which Trump lost by fewer than 100,000 votes — state lawmakers have signaled an intent to repeal the state’s “no-excuse” mail-in voting system, first implemented in 2019.

State Sens. Patrick Stefano and Doug Mastriano last month said in a Senate memorandum that they “intend to introduce legislation repealing the no-excuse mail-in ballot provisions” put in place two years ago via the state’s Act 77.

“By removing the provisions of law that allow for no-excuse mail-in ballots, we can regain some trust in our elections’ integrity,” the senators argued.

Hold the phone. If following the law means counting every LEGAL ballot (the wheat) and discarding every illegal ballot (chaff), why was this not done in the 2020 election?

Because money talked and legal vote counting walked. Arizona may be about to change this at the state level, but endless foot-dragging from the governor, certain legislators and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors have prevented this matter from being put to rest. There may be better news coming before the end of this week. Stay tuned.

I don’t care which way it comes out as long as it is legitimate!!! I almost moved to Texas because of the vote BS here in AZ, but I’m sure we are close to blue but not majority!

Without election integrity, there is no hope of ever regaining our status as a Constitutional Republic.

Won’t matter since it’s the vote counters and overseers that determine what gets counted. You have to have a method that counts the true votes and cannot be assaulted by humans with ulterior motives.

So, what happens when the Democrats pass HR1, which mandates all of the worst fraud we saw in 2020, and the Supreme Court again refuses to uphold the Constitution against it?

We are in a very bad place and heading somewhere much worse. Republicans should have done something about this before the elections and protected us from it. Now it may be too late.
