The conservative leaders who participate in the Conservative Action Project have just released a Memo for the Movement entitled "Conservatives Oppose Opening Up the Electoral Count Act to Democratic Election Takeover Legislation."
The memo points out that the latest Democrat attempts to rewrite election laws are using the cover of a false narrative about the events of January 6, 2020 to change the presidential election rules is to make it harder for Congress to do anything about election fraud in a presidential election. Republicans who engage in negotiations to open up the Electoral Count Act are willfully giving Democrats another avenue to shepherd in their election federalization priorities.
The toll-free Capitol Switchboard (1-866-220-0044), call today and tell your Senators and Representative you demand they vote NO on any bill to change the Electoral Count Act or other fake presidential election “reforms.”
The text of the memo and list of signers follows:
With Democrats in charge, such efforts are merely cover for liberals to have more opportunities to pass their election takeover legislation. These efforts have been successfully defeated so far, but Republicans who engage in negotiations to open up the Electoral Count Act are willfully giving Democrats another avenue to shepherd in their election federalization priorities.
The goal of the latest leftist scheme to change the presidential election rules is to make it harder for Congress to do anything about election fraud in a presidential election. Leftist politicians have committed themselves to opposing all election security measures, including voter ID, while pushing ballot harvesting and uncontrolled vote by mail schemes that undermine the very idea of secure elections.
Moreover, there is no need for these conversations to be taking place now, more than two years before the issue is pertinent again. Further, if there are to be changes to this important constitutional function, such changes should be developed and considered in regular order, during a normal legislative process – not behind closed doors by ad hoc groups of senators, apart from the Senate as a whole.
There are major issues that need serious legislative attention from Republicans: mounting inflation, possible U.S. military action in Ukraine, the tyrannies inflicted on personal freedoms in the name of COVID protocols, Big Tech’s speech suppression, vaccine mandates, and so on.
Engaging with Democrats on this issue is a pointless exercise which will only allow them to further their agenda of completely federalizing elections in America and instituting practices which will render future faith in elections untenable.
We urge Republicans to abandon these efforts and focus on far more timely issues that demand their attention.
