Democrats will use election overhaul legislation to 'cheat' in future elections: Sen. Rick Scott
Fox News
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. scolded the "anti-democracy" party for their controversial voting rights bill on Sunday, calling the legislation a political ploy to help Democrats "cheat" in future elections.
"If you look at the Democrat Party now, they are the ones that are anti-democracy, they talk about packing the Supreme Court. They don’t want you to show your I.D. to vote…and by the way, your signatures don’t have to match if you use mail-in voting, and we’ll have ballot harvesting….and the unmonitored ballot boxes that is good, because that could help us cheat," he said. "What the Democrat Party is they are the anti-democracy party. That’s what they’ve become."
The federal bills, if passed, would allow for same-day voter registration, establish Election Day as a national holiday and expand mail-in voting. Democrats say the two bills are urgent in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol to stop President Biden's election certification, former President Trump's continued false claims he won the 2020 election, and "voter suppression" laws in GOP-led states.
