Washington, D.C. – Yesterday Chairman Rick Scott penned an op-ed in the National Review discussing the Democrats’ radical Left agenda to sabotage our election security and destroy the very democracy they were elected to serve and protect.
National Review: Democrats Are the Anti-Democracy Party
For the sake of honesty, the Democratic Party should change its name, as most Democrats have totally given up on democracy. Just look at the legislation that virtually every Democrat in Washington is pushing this week.
Despite winning the presidency, the House, and a tie in the U.S. Senate in 2020, Democrats have decided that they cannot win any elections in the future unless they are rigged. That’s why they are pushing a federal takeover of all elections, with radical left-wing rules imposed on every state and locality by the liberals in Washington, regardless of whether those changes increase the risk of election fraud.
……
Democracy is a precious gift that has rarely lasted whenever it has been tried on planet earth because despots and authoritarians cannot resist trying to rig it to maintain power. Our Founders knew that, and they installed vital circuit-breakers in the system to prevent this gathering of power by election-riggers — vesting power to administer elections and make election rules in the states, and giving the states equal power in the Senate, regardless of their size.
As lovers of freedom and defenders of democracy, we must work to preserve this system. And the Democrats who have given up on democracy need to reverse course — or find a new name.
