Republican Representative Clay Higgins (LA) introduced a bill to protect the integrity of presidential ballots.
The Presidential Ballot Integrity Act amends Title 3 of the United States Code.
According to the bill, the “vote of an elector of a State shall not be counted if, with respect to the election for President, the State did not include on the ballot in the State a candidate for President who was nominated by a major political party, and for other purposes.”
“New law… If any state in our Union blocks the official nominee of a major political party from the Presidential ballot, their electoral slate will not be counted by Congress on the following January 6th,” Higgins shared on X.
“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Have a very MAGA Christmas.”
The bill comes as several states are looking to ban Donald Trump from their GOP primary ballot under supposed violations of the 14th Amendment.
American Faith reported that Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) is planning to introduce a bill prohibiting federal funds for elections from states abusing the 14th Amendment.
“Regardless of whether you support or oppose former President Donald Trump, it is outrageous to see left-wing activists make a mockery of our political system by scheming with partisan state officials and pressuring judges to remove him from the ballot,” Tillis said in a press release. “American voters, not partisan activists, should decide who we elect as our President. The Constitutional Election Integrity Act would put any constitutional challenges in the sole place they belong: the U.S. Supreme Court.”
The bill is an amendment to the Help America Vote Act of 2002, which provided federal funding for voting equipment and established standards of voter registration, according to Fox News.
