Election Integrity

I will always stand for free and fair elections that are secure, lawful, and constitutional. Under the guise of the pandemic, the 2020 election was left wide open for malfeasance, fraud, and processes that made much of the country lose confidence in our electoral system. Now more than ever, we need to do serious work to secure our election systems that safeguard our Republic from fraud, corruption, and tyranny.

I have called for Republicans to hold hearings when we take back the majority and investigate any irregularities that occurred during the 2020 election. I voted to object to the certification of electoral votes from Pennsylvania and Arizona due to partisan bureaucrats and rogue judges circumventing state election laws

Furthermore, the 2020 election was significantly impacted by big tech overlords. From banning the sitting President of the United States to censoring private citizens and suppressing the truth, Facebook, Twitter, and Google actively attacked the heart of our constitutional Republic. Facebook even sent hundreds of millions of dollars—otherwise known as Zuckerbucks—to Democrat voting precincts to fund get out the vote efforts in key districts to help Democrats win. I cosponsored the End Zuckerbucks Act to make sure big tech, malign influence, and private money stay away from our elections. Big tech has gone too far, and I won’t stand for it. I will continue to work to rein in big tech and prohibit this abuse in order to protect our elections.

Additionally, I cosponsored the Protecting American Voters Act to verify that applicants for voter registrations are citizens of the United States.

I also successfully defended the First Amendment right to free speech from the Biden administration's unconstitutional Disinformation Governance Board. I introduced the Protecting Free Speech Act and led an effort of 76 Members of Congress to defend the First Amendment. We were ultimately successful, and the Biden administration permanently canceled this so-called "Ministry of Truth."

Instead of working for real election security, Democrats are trying to sell a partisan federal takeover of elections as an election security measure. I led the opposition to their H.R. 1, since it would ban voter ID laws, federalize our elections, weaponize the IRS against conservatives, give D.C. statehood, use tax dollars to fund politicians’ campaigns, give California even more power over Colorado, nationalize mail-in voting, and make it harder to audit election results. These efforts are not only unconstitutional, but they would bring total distrust to the electoral process.

We need strong election security measures led by the states and supported by the federal government. Sweeping federal regulations and activist court decisions are not the way to secure our elections since Article 1 Section 4 of the Constitution gives state legislatures the power to govern election law.

As the leader of the free world, America needs to have free and fair elections. Americans have the right to demand transparency and accountability in their electoral system. I will always support voter ID laws, signature verification checks, free and fair access for election observers, the right to vote in person, and efforts to ensure the accuracy of voter registration rolls. When it comes to our elections, all Americans should unite around one simple goal: let’s make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.
