Americans want to make sure that post-pandemic, we get voter integrity measures right, that they\u2019re fair to everyone, and that we don\u2019t use as an excuse measures that were very specific to a once in a century pandemic,\u201d Conway said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important because, is the voter-verified?\u201d Conway told Republican National Committee Chairman Ronna McDaniel in an interview. \u201cIs the voter\u2019s ID verified? Is the voter\u2019s signature verified? This should not be a heavy lift. It should not be controversial that you want to make sure that the most sacrosanct principle in our United States Constitution, one person, one vote, is upheld for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe majority of Republicans, Democrats and independents all agree that non-citizens should not vote. People who are not registered to vote or qualified to vote should not vote,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
