Oklahoma GOP Rep. Markwayne Mullin made clear Tuesday morning that states – not Congress – should be the ones making the decisions about having “fair and open elections.”
He spoke hours before the Senate was expected to vote on congressional Democrats’ sweeping election-law bill, the We the People Act, which would effectively expand voting.
“Our founding fathers were very, very confident in the fact that they wanted the states to control their own elections,” Mullin said on the “Just the News AM” TV show. “That’s why they speak very clearly on Article One, that they wanted the state legislators to control the election results. They didn’t want the federal government getting involved because they knew that if the federal government got involved that [federal lawmakers] could also keep themselves in power.”
The five-term congressman also spoke as some GOP-led states, including Georgia and Texas, have or are attempting to strengthen voting security laws to reduce fraud.
“The federal legislative branch, we only have one role in this, and that’s to count the Electoral votes in either certifying or contesting them,” Mullin told show host Sophie Mann.
Protesters on Jan. 6 stormed the Capitol Building in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying states’ Electoral College votes that showed Democrat Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election over then-President Trump.
“The election laws, even the federal election laws, are decided on the state level, and each state can decide their own,” Mullin also said Tuesday. “I think that’s going to be up to the state legislators to decide which direction they move to make sure that they have a fair and open election.”

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
