Take Action: Banks Introduces Election Integrity Bill; Citizen Action
Needed


 

On Friday, Statesman Academy alumnus and Indiana congressman
Jim Banks introduced an important election reform bill called the Save
Democracy Act. Would you take a moment to ask your member of Congress
to support it?

Banks, who is now Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, put
forward this bill to address structural issues in American elections
that were a cause of great concern even before last fall's
elections. For all elections involving federal candidates, it would
require safeguards in the areas of voter registration, casting of
ballots, and vote tabulation.

These reforms are needed for two reasons. First, they provide
safeguards to election integrity in areas where specific concerns and
allegations have arisen. Second, they address a crisis of a lack of
voter trust in our election process. In 2020, that broken trust was
experienced primarily by Republican voters, but in some prior years,
the concerns came mainly from Democrat voters. Restoring trust in
elections is critical to our system of government and shouldn't
be a partisan issue.

Specifically, the Save Democracy Act would, in federal elections,
reform practices that make voter registration, voting, and vote
tabulation more susceptible to fraudulent activity. Here are key
highlights:

* Prohibits automatic voter registration
* Requires voter citizenship verification
* Prohibits states from sending out unrequested absentee ballots
* Prohibits ballot harvesting
* Requires voter ID for absentee and in-person voting
* Requires that absentee ballots be received by the close of
election day
* Strengthens protections for observing both voting and vote
tabulation
* Requires that ballot counting, once begun, continue until
completed-no delays or pauses

Please ask your member of Congress to sponsor and vote for the Save
Democracy Act. It's quick and easy on our Action Center. And
please share this email or the

Thanks for upholding election integrity!
