Senate Republicans attack Democratic bill as 'politically motivated ... takeover' of election system | TheHill - The Hill

May 11, 2021

Senate Republicans denounced a sweeping elections bill backed by Democrats as a “politically motivated federal takeover of the election system,” setting up a high-stakes battle ahead of a debate Tuesday over one of the Democrats' biggest legislative priorities.

In a GOP messaging document obtained by The Hill, Republican senators lambasted the bill as legislation that would “make elections more chaotic and less secure.”  .

They specifically said the bill allowed unlimited ballot harvesting, undermined popular voter ID laws and made it more difficult to maintain accurate voter lists, all of which they said “makes election fraud easier to commit and harder to detect.”.
