Prior to the 2020 election, Democrats expanded mail-in voting and drop box vting in states like Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Virginia. The election results showed that there were 65.6 million mail-in ballots in 2020, up from 33.5 million in 2016. Drop-box voting surged, too. When the votes were counted, Democrats got 15.4 million (23.4%) more votes in 2020 compared to 2016.
To prevent this from happening again, Republicans are pushing hard to enhance election integrity.
Here’s the story from Daily Caller:
As President Donald Trump moves at breakneck speed to enact his agenda, the Republican National Committee is quietly racking up election integrity wins and gearing up for the next election cycle, the Daily Caller has learned.
The RNC won three lengthy legal battles related to the prevention of election fraud in March across the key states of Arizona, Georgia and Washington.
“These cases represent that a lot of times, things get started and resolved during an election year, but many times they don’t, and the RNC doesn’t walk away from them,” an RNC official told the Caller. “We are here to see these things through.”
Here is an interesting story about Arizona, which got a lot of press for failure to count their ballots in a timely way. It turns out that their Democrat Secretary of State (in charge of elections) wanted to weaken “safeguards against non-citizen voting”:
In March, Arizona’s Court of Appeals announced that the secretary of state, Adrian Fontes, did not “substantially comply” with the state’s proper rule making process when finalizing the 2023 Election Procedures Manual. The court’s ruling was the result of a February 2024 lawsuit filed by the GOP, which argued that Fontes’s Election Procedures Manual would weaken “safeguards against non-citizen voting,” “unlawfully limited the ability to challenge early ballots,” and “violate[d] numerous provisions of state law meant to protect election integrity,” a party official shared with the Caller.
You might remember that this Democrat also lost a case where he tried to cover up which voters were improperly registered to vote.
More from the original Daily Caller article, this time about Georgia:
Another significant win came in Georgia on March 7. The RNC intervened in a case in May 2024 after a local labor union sued trying to overturn the state’s absentee ballot rules. The state’s law sets the deadline to request absentee ballots at 11 days prior to election day, but the union wanted to extend the deadline.
Nearly a year later, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia threw out the union’s lawsuit, ultimately ruling in the RNC’s favor.
Why would Democrats and their union allies want to make it easier for people to vote absentee?
Here’s another one, from the state of Washington:
In Washington, the state’s Supreme Court unanimously ruled in the RNC’s favor that the state’s signature verification law does not violate the state’s constitution. The RNC first got involved in that legal battle in 2023.
Why would Washington Democrats want to attack a signature verification law? What could their motive be?
Anyway, it’s good to see that Republicans are not floating blindly through their 4 years in power this time. Now is the time for them to strengthen election integrity, so that our elections are protected from mail-in ballot fraud and drop-box ballot fraud.
By the way, if you live in states like Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, Georgia, Washington and Arizona, it might be a good idea for you to make sure that you vote for Republicans for Secretary of State. Because the Secretaries of State in many of these states are Democrats, and they certainly have an agenda.
