RNC STATEMENT ON BIDEN’S ELECTION TAKEOVER EFFORTS

WASHINGTON - Today, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement ahead of Biden's visit to Georgia to push a federal takeover of state and local elections:

"Joe Biden and Democrats' election takeover attempts are blatant power-grabs designed to rig the game. Democrats want to destroy the integrity of our elections by eliminating photo ID requirements, allowing non-citizens to vote, using taxpayer dollars to fund career politicians, and silencing voters. No number of lies told or fake hysteria pushed today justify Democrats’ agenda to break the Senate and destroy American elections.”

Background:

  • 75% of Americans -- including 69% of Black voters and 60% of Democrats polled-- support voter ID requirements.
  • Atlanta just held municipal elections in November, and turnout rose by 17% after the passage of Georgia’s election integrity law.
    • In fact, The Atlanta Journal- Constitution wrote that voters saw "short lines," "few problems", and no "obstacles at the polls."
  • As Biden’s signature legislation sputters in the Senate, far-left Democrats are  pivoting to end the filibuster and eviscerate state based efforts to promote election integrity.
  • Over the past couple decades more than three dozen current Democrat Senators have advocated in defense of the filibuster.
