WASHINGTON—Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) are using the national emergency caused by the CCP virus to shift control of elections from states to the federal government, according to an Illinois Republican congressman.
“It’s despicable that, while Americans are struggling, Democrats have chosen to not only block much needed assistance for the American people in the Senate, but then introduced legislation that is nothing but a dangerous ploy to federalize elections,” Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), the ranking minority member of the House Administration Committee, said in a statement issued late on March 23.
