    The Spin

    Pro-Trump narrative

    Many votes in the 2020 election were fraudulent, corrupt, and highly irregular. The election should've been sent back to the state by the Vice President. Now the Democrats, and even some RINO Republicans, want to continue their corruption and make it virtually impossible to challenge future election results.

    Republican narrative

    Many of the elements of these proposals are necessary and common sense. Their bipartisan nature keeps Democrats from giving too much power to the federal government over how states conduct their elections. If the Democrats can resist the temptation to sabotage this effort by taking the included restrictions further, this has the makings of a positive bill for the country.

    Democratic narrative

    These proposals are good and necessary, but they don't go nearly far enough. We're still staring down state legislatures that are restricting voting rights, and a Moore vs. Harper SCOTUS ruling that could lead to those legislatures gaining unlimited power in conducting federal elections. We still need future legislation to codify election integrity, and American democracy depends on it.
