Liz Cheney comes out in support of stricter voting laws, sees no link to Trump

Rep. Liz Cheney says she supports state and local GOP efforts to enact stricter voter laws, denying any link between that and former President Donald Trump’s efforts to contest the 2020 election.

Cheney (R-Wyo.), whose political future is in limbo after losing her House leadership position for breaking with the 45th president, made the comments to “Axios on HBO” after being asked what Republicans’ culpability was for spreading election misinformation with these efforts. “Well, I think you have to look at the specifics of each one of those efforts. I think if you look at the Georgia laws, for example, there’s been a lot that’s been said nationally about the Georgia voter laws that turns out not to be true,” the former No. 3 House Republican said.
