Every legal vote must be counted, and those that are illegal must be set aside.

We need less Federal involvement in our elections, not more.

Building trust starts with taking steps to verify that all votes are legal and cast by eligible voters.

Abortion is neither healthcare nor is it a constitutional right. Life is the constitutional right.

It is quite evident that this hearing is strategically placed to distract from the massive $4.3 trillion spending bill that the Democrats want to hide from the American people.
