House Administration Committee Republicans on Monday traveled to Georgia to announce legislation they’re calling the “most conservative election integrity bill to be seriously considered in the House in over 20 years.”
The measure, which they’ve previewed in a series of hearings this Congress, would urge states to adopt voter ID laws, override some election policy in the nation’s capital and prohibit the federal government from tapping into political donor rolls, according to the Republicans.
Dubbed the American Confidence in Elections Act, or ACE Act, the bill has drawn the scorn of committee Democrats, who argue it engages in denialism and falsehoods about election fraud, disenfranchises minority voters and puts the security of poll workers at risk, among other complaints.
