Rep. Bryan Steil: After Georgia, House GOP to pass comprehensive election integrity laws to combat hypocrisy, lies of Left
John Solomon ReportsAbout this episode
Chairman of the House Administration Committee Bryan Steil says that new comprehensive election integrity legislation to be passed by House Republicans is now more than ever, “so absolutely essential.” The Wisconsin Congressman says the election integrity bill, called the Americans Confidence in Elections Act (ACE Act), is being “rolled out in Georgia to point out the hypocrisy of the left, and the lies of the left that they've made about other voter integrity bills.” Steil says the bill has three essential principles: First, “it provides states the tools that they need to be able to maintain and improve voter integrity in their states,” this can be done through allowing states to tap into the Social Security database, who must be informed of individuals who have passed away, and allows the states “the opportunity to tap into that so they can maintain clean voter rolls.” Second, to “clean up Washington DC, Washington DC is one of the worst states or cities as it relates to voter integrity. They don't have photo ID, they don't do a good job cleaning up their voter rolls. And they allow non-citizens to vote what that means just to clarify that for everyone. In Washington, DC under current law, a Russian national working at the Russian embassy living in Washington DC for only 30 days, could leave work at the embassy, walk to a polling location and vote for mayor in our nation's capitol next year.” Steil says this bill “ends that and says American elections should be for American citizens.” Third, “it protects Americans First Amendment rights and prevents foreign interference, by closing loopholes “that liberal foreign billionaires are using to pour money into US elections, they do that by taking money, putting in a 501 C-4 tax exempt entity, slush that money around, move it from there to a Super PAC, and they have the super PAC run political ads about US elections.” This new bill will end foreign interference, by closing this loophole.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
