RNC Passes Powerful 'Return To Excellence In American Voting' Resolution, Demands Election Security

The 168 members of the Republican National Committee met in Milwaukee last week, and one item the group adopted was a strongly-worded "RESOLUTION URGING A RETURN TO EXCELLENCE IN AMERICAN VOTING AND ELECTIONS," which called for increased election security and fully auditable voting methods.

This resolution makes it abundantly clear that any Republican aiding democrat election manipulation is not going to be tolerated- and the clear outline of what we do support: - Having an auditable paper trail - Supporting hand count procedures to audit votes - Applauding those who perform hand counts - Supporting precinct polling - Opposing vote centers and demanding geographically defined voting and management - Stopping drop boxes that are only placed in heavily Democrat areas - Preventing further expansion of early voting that makes Election Day tabulation more complicated and delayed - Stopping additional confusion with schemes like ranked choice voting - Requiring IDs and citizenship for voting.

The document contains eleven "Whereas" statements outlining their concerns with current voting methods in the United States.

RESOLVED, The Republican National Committee calls for a necessary "Return to excellence" or in other words, a return to the simple and proven methods of precinct, ward or geographically-defined localized voting with auditable balloting procedures using paper ballots, in fair, reasonable limited time periods, using proper identification to strengthen voter confidence and to ensure that American election procedures can be a fair and open process for all to participate.

Democrats in many states have been changing the rules over the last several years-especially during the pandemic-and have gone all in on unsecured ballot boxes, mail-in voting, extended voting periods, ballot harvesting, and more.

"Republicans' confidence in voting integrity dropped to a new low of 44%, while Democrats' confidence remained high, slightly higher than in the previous election year," they wrote.

In the meantime, as voting advocate Scott Presler has advocated on the pages of RedState, Republicans must also master the voting system as it is-not just how we wish it was.
