Congressional initiatives, such as the misleadingly named “For the People Act,” seek to permanently curtail states’ authority to regulate elections. This includes mandating ballot harvesting, creating avenues for non-citizens to vote, and institutionalizing voter fraud as a recurring feature in elections, among other risky provisions.
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT:
The integrity of the voting process faces a significant threat from an entrenched political class in Washington determined to diminish the influence of its citizens in favor of retaining perpetual power. The Pandemic led to a surge in mail-in voting initiatives. Unfortunately, this presented a golden opportunity for political elites to exploit methods conducive to increased voter fraud, ultimately serving their long-term political interests.
Our Country Our Choice is committed to safeguarding the dignity of the vote and to defending the integrity of our elections. Therefore, elections need to be secure and transparent, and the results of our elections must represent the will of “We the People” as our founding fathers intended.
CALL TO ACTION:
By uniting our efforts, we have the power to rebuild trust, transparency, and integrity in our electoral processes. Our Country Our Choice has launched a dedicated project aimed at promoting fair and trustworthy elections. If this is an issue that concerns you or your organization, we invite you to become a part of our project. Together we can strengthen the very foundation of our republic.
