Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel accused top Democrats of trying to use the coronavirus pandemic to promote lax voting measures.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden have both urged Congress to support language in future coronavirus legislative packages that would change the way votes are cast in 2020. Pelosi tried to include a mandate that would require states to allow mail-in voting in the latest coronavirus economic relief bill, but Republicans blocked it. In an opinion piece for Fox News, McDaniel said such measures would facilitate election fraud.
"After failing with their first left-wing laundry list disguised as coronavirus relief, Democratic leaders are already plotting their next attempt to use the pandemic for political gain," she wrote.
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and former Vice President Joe Biden say we must throw election integrity to the wayside in favor of an all-mail election, fundamentally changing how Americans vote in eight months," McDaniel wrote. "The overhaul would vastly expand opportunities for fraud and weaken confidence in our elections, but all Washington Democrats see is a potential benefit for their party."
