Chip Roy (R-Texas) is among a group of House GOP lawmakers leading the charge for election reform. They\u2019re calling on state legislatures to implement a series of changes that would ensure the voting process is safe and secure in every state.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s part of a push to counter a sweeping election overhaul bill passed in the House, despite little chance of getting the 60 votes needed to pass in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately my Democrat colleagues in Washington, as well as the Biden administration are jamming through this ridiculous H.R.1 bill, which is really nothing more than a big, federal power grab,\u201d Roy stated.<\/p>\n<p>Roy, along with many other GOP lawmakers, warned the bill would worsen problems already plaguing our elections. That includes increasing ballot harvesting and paper mail-in ballots, while diminishing the use of voter ID requirements among other issues.<\/p>\n<p>The growing calls for action by Republican lawmakers came as the Biden administration took the executive path to promote voting access.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2383952\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2383952\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2383952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-1256154622-4-583x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"WILMINGTON, DELAWARE - JULY 14: Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at the Chase Center July 14, 2020 in Wilmington, Delaware.

It also called for time off for federal employees to vote or volunteer as poll workers.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, GOP lawmakers are praising states like Georgia and Texas for passing legislation that improves voter rolls, and they\u2019re not stopping there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a bill here in Washington I\u2019m going to introduce next week I believe, hopefully maybe even late this week, to require that DHS work with states to ensure that only American citizens are voting in our elections,\u201d Roy said.<\/p>\n<p>Reforms to paper ballot usage is also at the top of the GOP agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Roy said lawmakers should embrace limiting mail-in ballots to people who need them, requiring signature matching and require the use of voter ID laws.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/report-sixth-woman-accuses-n-y-gov-cuomo-of-sexual-harassment\/\">Report: Sixth Woman Accuses N.Y.
