Vote for the Free Elections Act. No president should be able to abuse their power and declare a national emergency in order to manipulate elections. Free and fair elections are core to the USA as a constitutional republic. Conjecture about things that might or could have happened during the 2020 election — 6 years ago! — does not equate to a national emergency. Trump is attempting gross overreach to soothe his ego. The Free Elections Act is common sense and non-partisan. The Act will reaffirm and strengthen existing prohibitions against invoking emergency powers to interfere with elections, including through misuse of authorities under the Insurrection Act, the National Emergencies Act, and related federal statutes. It reinforces long-established bans on deploying federal forces or law enforcement, including DHS agents, at election sites and clarifies that emergency authorities may not be used to control, monitor, or influence the electoral process. Publicly support and vote for the Free Elections Act.
