Democrats want to destroy the integrity of our elections by eliminating photo ID requirements, allowing non-citizens to vote, using taxpayer dollars to fund career politicians, and silencing voters. No number of lies told or fake hysteria pushed today justify Democrats\u2019 agenda to break the Senate and destroy American elections,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The statement shared that 75% of Americans \u2014 including 69% of black voters and 60% of Democrats polled \u2014 support voter ID requirements.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview on Fox News\u2019 \u201cThe Faulkner Focus\u201d on Wednesday, McDaniel emphasized that Republican voting reform measures are intended to make elections secure.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t go to a restaurant without showing your vaccine card, but they want to strip away showing your ID to vote \u2013 which 80% of the American people agree with according to NPR. This is something that most of us think should happen just to make sure our elections are secure. They are overreaching here. Joe Biden is in Georgia; he should actually be in New York where they just allowed non-citizens to vote in their elections. Maybe he should be fighting that instead,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Sen. Scott also spoke on the Senate Floor on Wednesday against Democrats\u2019 plans to make permanent and fundamental changes to the legislative filibuster, a Senate rule that requires a 60-vote supermajority to move forward pending legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, have fiercely defended the legislative filibuster in the past, but are now flip-flopping so they can jam through a bill that would completely upend America\u2019s current election system.
