Fierce pushback against 'federal takeover' of election laws 'rigging it for Democrats'

Every single House Democrat signed on to that sweeping election reform bill Monday, arguing that the legislation - dubbed For the People Act - would expand voting access and "Clean up corruption." Republicans dismiss the measure as a "Federal government takeover" of election laws that would rig rules in the favor of Democrats.

"I'm proud to join SBA List and APP to act quickly to defeat the efforts of Democrats in Washington to federalize election laws through HR 1, while simultaneously going on offense at the state level to rally the grassroots around meaningful reforms," Cuccinelli said.

"The pro-life movement must engage in election transparency and integrity reform," he said, "Or their ability to elect pro-life, pro-family lawmakers - and pass laws that save lives - will be greatly diminished, if not extinguished."

With Trump trashing the election process in their state instead of campaigning for his party's candidates, many Georgia Republicans subsequently stayed home rather than vote in a special Senate election last month.

The group's president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, explained that expanding the mission to election law was necessary to ensure their "Ability to win elections for pro-life candidates is predicated on a transparent, fair elections process."

Democrats took advantage of the pandemic, Dannenfelser argued in a statement, to weaken "State laws ensuring free and fair elections."

"While we vigorously oppose efforts to federalize election laws through bills such as HR 1," she added, "We must also rally activists in battleground states to ensure pro-abortion Democrats cannot make their control of government permanent."
