Ken Cuccinelli, chair of the Election Transparency Initiative, said Republicans in Congress are not going to roll out a counterproposal to the Democrats’ election reform bill, the For the People Act, because states should handle election law changes.
Cuccinelli was asked if Republicans should counter the Democrats’ H.R.1 and S.1 with an alternative that solidifies voter identification requirements and standards that states would have to meet to update voter rolls.

Cuccinelli, who served as acting deputy secretary of the Homeland Security Department in the Trump administration, argued that the legislation opens the door for non-citizens being registered to vote.

“So one of the aspects of this bill that is particularly egregious is that it orders the states to dump all adults, it doesn’t say citizens, it says individuals in their state databases, into their voter rolls, and later on to notify them that they’ve been put on the voter rolls,” he said. “And if […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
