Headed by Rep. Rodney Davis of Illinois, the effort is designed to determine how federal agencies are incorporating Biden’s executive order in expanding voter registration. “Trained congressional staffers,” he writes, have been “trained…and instructed that they play no formal or advocacy role in the administration of the election.” Candidates will be able to contest the results, should their election be counted incorrectly.
From Just the News:
"The House's constitutional authority in this area supersedes state law, and House observers operate solely under this authority and must be granted access to view the process even if state law credentialing, partisan quota, or access requirements exist to the contrary," he wrote. ... “The faith in elections initiative is an important effort by House Republicans to hear directly from state and local election officials on what the best practices are in administrating elections; calling out practices and efforts that undermine faith in our elections by not having necessary checks and balances in place,” House Administration Committee staff director Timothy Monahan told Just the News. ”This initiative has not only resulted in the federalist-first American Confidence in Election Act (ACE act) but also prepared trained election observers to have a front row seat for all competitive races that will ensure proper oversight occurs,” he added. In addition to the observers, Davis and other ranking Republicans on committees have been peppering state, local and federal agencies with questions about tactics they are using and disputes that have already arisen early in the midterms.
