As Democrats in Congress push for election reform bills, former Vice President Mike Pence (Mike Pence) broke his silence since leaving office on March 3 to write a letter criticizing the 2020 election for “serious voting irregularities” and “many examples of officials shelving state election laws. “These “deprive the American people of a substantive discussion about the integrity of elections in Congress.
Pence’s comments were published in a feature article on the Daily Signal, a division of the conservative Heritage Foundation, on March 3, mainly attacking the election reform bill, accusing it of “increasing the chances of election The bill “will increase the chances of election fraud.
Since the election, former President Trump and his allies have repeatedly claimed that massive election fraud led to Biden stealing his victory.
In the wake of this, Democrats introduced an election reform bill that would make many of the most controversial issues during the 2020 election a federal law, including voter registration and voting procedures, requiring state legislation to create electronic voting, and giving the Justice Department more power to run voting rights laws. They even named the bill the “For the People Act,” but it was attacked by Republicans who said it was designed purely to entrench Democratic self-interest.
In his article, Pence accused the bill of “trampling on the First Amendment, further eroding confidence in elections, and permanently diluting the votes of legally eligible voters.” He also said that the Democrats have set aside real election reform and nationalized elections in defiance of the Constitution.
Biden’s White House fully supports the bill on the grounds that Trump is doing everything he can to overturn the election results, including pressuring Pence not to bother with the Electoral College votes.
And this feature is the first Time Pence has made his most extensive public comments since he left office on Jan. 20, except for the occasional tweet.
