WASHINGTON – Ahead of Biden's speech in Philadelphia today promoting a federal takeover of elections and pushing lies about common-sense election integrity laws, Republican National Committee (RNC) Communications Director Danielle Álvarez released the following statement:
“Joe Biden and Democrats have an election power grab playbook: lies and theatrics. After Democrats failed to pass their federal takeover of our elections (H.R.1), Biden is continuing their dishonest attacks on commonsense election integrity efforts. Meanwhile, Republicans are engaged in state-led efforts to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat, and polling shows Americans overwhelmingly support these laws.”
Background:
- The RNC just secured a huge victory in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, made a 7-figure nationwide ad buy holding Democrats accountable for their lies in Georgia, and are involved in 19 lawsuits across the country.
- The RNC released polling Thursday highlighting how Americans reject Democrats’ lies about election integrity. Americans overwhelmingly support the election integrity policies and ideas being promoted by Republicans across the country:
- More than 80% of all voters say verifying voter ID is an important security measure; nearly all have driver’s licenses or another form of ID and think it is easy to acquire an ID.
- 87% of voters said they were against ballot harvesting and 71% of voters believe ballots should not be accepted after election day.
- 77% of all voters reject Democrats’ claim that “racism” is behind voting integrity laws, and believe one party uses it for political purposes, not for electoral progress.
