Public trust in our elections is integral to a thriving democratic republic. The rules for our election system should be clear, transparent, and effective. They should both optimize access to the ballot and shut out any opportunity for fraud.

 

In short, it should be easy to vote and hard to cheat.

 

Everyone — Republicans, Democrats, or Independents — should be able to look upon our election system and have full confidence.

 

Basic measures like voter ID are common sense and should be re-instituted.
