“Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin announced Wednesday he would scrap his effort to replace the state’s nearly 30-year-old fleet of voting machines.
Two firms have objected to the process, claiming it was tailored to favor current vendor Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion also has been a target of unfounded conspiracy theories spread by Ardoin’s fellow Republicans alleging the company was involved in rigging last year’s presidential election.
“I am withdrawing the RFP to spend the next few months seeking to undo the damage to voter confidence done by those who willfully spread misinformation and disinformation,” Ardoin said in a prepared statement.
Ardoin said the process was “never rushed or inconsistent with accepted budgetary or procurement laws.”
“unfounded conspiracy theories” — I am so tired of hearing this phrase. It is all unfounded if you refuse to look at any evidence.
20 state AGs denounce Democrats’ HR 1 as unconstitutional
“In other words, the goal is to censor those with whom the authors of the bill disagree,” wrote the attorneys general.
Twenty Republican state attorneys general signed a letter denouncing the House Democrats’ controversial election reform bill as unconstitutional for a slew of reasons just hours before the measure was expected to be voted on.
The letter — led by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita — tore into H.R. 1, the “For the People Act,” a massive election reform bill and a leading priority for House Democrats this Congress.
“This monstrosity of a bill betrays the Constitution, dangerously federalizes state elections, and undermines the integrity of the ballot box,” Rokita said in a statement to Fox News. “As a former chief election officer, and now an Attorney General, I know this would be a disaster for election integrity and confidence in the processes that have been developed over time to instill confidence in the idea of ‘one person, one vote.’”
The attorneys general said the bill “betrays several Constitutional deficiencies and alarming mandates” that would “federalize” statewide elections across America and that “states have principal —and with presidential elections, exclusive — responsibility to safeguard” how they hold elections under the Constitution.
