The Fight For Election Integrity

One of the questions I am most frequently asked is, “What’s being done to ensure the integrity of our elections?”  It’s a serious issue, and it should not be a partisan issue. 

A recent Rasmussen poll found that 55% of voters believe that cheating impacted the 2020 elections.  That lack of confidence in our democratic process is a huge problem.

Well, the Republican Party is taking election integrity seriously.  Unfortunately, the liberal media are grossly distorting their efforts.

Politico has gotten its hands on audio tapes that outline what it calls the “GOP Plan To Contest Elections.”  The story is a perfect example of media malfeasance. 

In reality, they are reporting on a plan by the Republican National Committee to ensure that there is a sufficient number of poll workers in every area of the country.  The goal is not to “contest the election,” but to make sure that only eligible voters vote and that they vote only once. 

But this is beyond the pale for the radical left and its media allies like Politico, which is spinning a legitimate, legal effort as some kind of nefarious plot.  How dare you fight voter fraud!

Here's the problem Republicans are trying to address:  In 2020, there were 5,400 elections officials (poll workers, clerks, etc.) in Detroit, Michigan.  But only 170 were Republicans.  The Republican National Committee is simply looking to bring that number closer to parity.  As one of the program organizers said in the presentation, the goal of the effort is to “make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.” 

But that’s now considered inappropriate interference in our elections by some left-wing media outlets.
