Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) on Sept. 19 echoed President Donald Trump’s concerns about the risk of election fraud regarding mail-in ballots, calling it a “serious threat” as she announced her new bipartisan legislation that seeks to outlaw ballot harvesting.

In announcing the legislation, which is being co-sponsored by Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), Gabbard raised concerns about the practice that permits a third party to collect and return multiple ballots, saying the risk presented is not a partisan issue.
