AMERICA FIRST POLICY INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES MAJOR NATIONAL EFFORT TO PROTECT VOTING RIGHTS
August 25, 2021 | Florida
Chairman Blackwell, “…Make It Easy To Vote And Hard to Cheat.”
Atlanta, GA—Today, the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) launched its Center for Election Integrity (CEI), which will participate in a national effort to conduct research, educate stakeholders, and develop policies that help make it easy to vote, but hard to cheat.
The United States Constitution grants state legislatures direct authority over its elections. Through a strategic approach, CEI will work with state partners to highlight what measures can be taken to help ensure their elections are free and fair.
Ken Blackwell, CEI Chairman, said, “We must help make sure that people have confidence in our system and that we give citizens a fair vote count. CEI is excited to work in conjunction with many other organizations that have been fighting for secure voter laws, undergirding, and amplifying their good work. We want to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.”
CEI will work to amplify the importance of voter identification, require ballots to be returned by election day, stop the practice of ballot harvesting, ensure voter rolls are consistently cleaned and kept up to date, prohibit the privatization of elections, and litigate cases of voter fraud….
