The Hill is facing mockery for running a piece complaining about Republicans trying to change election rules before the 2024 race.
Never mind that Democrats spent all of 2020 changing election rules before that year’s presidential race and are still changing some rules to this very day. Evidently, when Republicans do something similar, THEN it becomes a problem. Go figure.

The difference is that whereas Democrats tried to make it easier for virtually anybody, including criminal aliens, to vote, Republicans are trying to increase election confidence and integrity.
For example, two months ago the Georgia State Election Board instituted a new policy that grants local election officials the right to conduct a “reasonable inquiry” before they certify the results of an election.
Seems fair, right? Not to The Hill and the people whom it chose to question, including Jonathan Diaz, a director at the supposedly nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center.
Diaz claimed moves like this are part of a broader effort to “open the door a little crack to let them refuse to certify election results.”
But only if those election results are fraudulent. Yet just admitting that election results might be fraudulent is enough to get one called an “election denier” by the likes of Diaz.
The Hill and its seemingly left-wing sources are also mad at Republicans for removing non-citizens from voting rolls.

“Basically, they are using computer programs to generate these lists of potentially ineligible voters using unreliable data sources that usually are just mismatching names or relying on outdated information,” Diaz claimed without any evidence.
“So all they’re really doing is creating a ton of work for election officials and risking the wrongful removal of eligible voters from the rolls,” he added.
But what about the risk of wrongful “voters” voting? Democrats don’t seem to care, but Republicans like Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin do. He recently used a 2006 law signed by a former Democrat governor to remove non-citizens from his state’s voter rolls. In response, the Biden-Harris administration sued.
“By canceling voter registrations within 90 days of Election Day, Virginia places qualified voters in jeopardy of being removed from the rolls and creates the risk of confusion for the electorate,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said in a statement.

Youngkin wasn’t pleased, as reported by local station WJLA.
“With less than 30 days until the election, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice is filing an unprecedented lawsuit against me and the Commonwealth of Virginia, for appropriately enforcing a 2006 law signed by Democrat Tim Kaine that requires Virginia to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls,” he fired back in a statement.
This particular controversy comes two months after the governor signed an E.O. for stringent ballot security, thorough counting machine testing, and voter list maintenance.
“I first encourage all eligible Virginians to register and vote, but I also want to make sure that all Virginians have confidence that our elections are safe and secure, and that’s what Executive Order 35 is all about – codifying the actions that we have been taking to make our voter rolls the cleanest in the country and to make sure that our votes are accurately counted,” he said at the time.
“And we’re removing those that are not eligible, and yes, we’ve removed over 6,000 non-citizens from being on the voter rolls. We’re also removing those Virginians who sadly have died or moved away,” he added.
Dovetailing back to The Hill’s report, the outlet is also mad at Georgia for recently approving a new rule requiring the hand-counting of ballots.
“It’s a factor that could increase human error and seriously slow vote counting — potentially even butting up against the Jan. 6 certification deadline,” The Hill complains.
Responding to this and the paper’s other complaints, critics were full of mockery.
Look:
For some reason the dems are always against ensuring only legal voters can vote.

Proving you’re a citizen and removing people who should not be on the voting rolls. The horror.

Considering we’re one of the only developed nations that can’t seem to figure out our ballots within 36 hours, I think some reforms are desperately needed.

Removing the dead, out of staters, and noncitizens from the voter rolls should be done automatically without the GOP having to go to court. The real story here, if theHill was legit news, is that the Dems are trying to rig elections by refusing to clean voter rolls.

We close gaping security holes, and you say we’re trying to control the outcome of the election.
It’s almost as if you see that the holes disproportionately benefit the Left – which is what we have been saying since 2020. We call exploitation of security holes “fraud.”
