🧵 @JaneMayerNYer chose to go on MSNBC today and attack not only Heritage’s work to ensure our elections are secure, but to repeat several inaccuracies and outright lies about those efforts.
@JaneMayerNYer You should be skeptical of reporters who don’t get basic facts right.

In this attack, Mayer falsely claims Heritage involvement in state election audits in Arizona and Georgia. She also falsely claims Heritage involvement in election litigation efforts. Neither is true.
Citing Heritage’s Election Fraud Database, Mayer also carefully refrained from mentioning all the cases in Arizona, the 1,300+ proven cases in the database, or our warning that the database is just a sampling of cases, not a comprehensive list. heritage.org/voterfraud
Heritage is proud of our work in support of election integrity. If Americans can’t trust the process, or whether their vote will count, our system of representative government is doomed. That’s why we support policies that make it easier to vote and harder to cheat.
It’s disappointing that Mayer and Joe Scarborough equate exposing vulnerabilities in our election systems and providing recommendations on making it easier to vote and harder to cheat with “authoritarianism” and “conspiracy theories.”
The real question is why @JaneMayerNYer, @JoeNBC, and others on the left are so afraid of commonsense, popular reforms and initiatives like voter ID that are necessary to secure our elections and protect our democracy.
Mayer falsely accuses Heritage of wanting to “crack down” on voting rights.

Actually, election fraud is what disenfranchises voters.
Commonsense safeguards are popular. Polling by the Honest Elections Project found:

âś… 77% of Americans support photo ID
âś… 66% support ID requirements for absentee ballots
âś… 68% agree states should never send unsolicited ballots
âś… 80% think strong safeguards inspire confidence
Most importantly, 87% of Americans believe that protecting the right to vote is about more than casting ballots—it’s also protecting a fair and honest election system. Exactly!
Even while leftist politicians, those in the media, and others mock Americans for being concerned about election integrity, Heritage will not stop fighting to make sure every single American can trust the process and cast their vote with confidence. #ElectionIntegrity

Amnesty is not infrastructure. @ChadFWolf

@ChadFWolf The $1.2 trillion bipartisan “infrastructure” deal merely paves the road for Democrats to pass the largest amnesty for illegal aliens in American history. herit.ag/2TNhLIK
Even absent this planned societal transformation, the bill is bad policy, as it is not focused on actual “hard” infrastructure.

We released a new video today, highlighting the effort by radical leftists in Congress and the White House to use the current infrastructure debate to ram through a massive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. herit.ag/3fkI14Q
The White House has called on Congress to include amnesty in a reconciliation package, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said the Senate will not move such a reconciliation package without the bipartisan infrastructure package currently under debate.
The Biden border crisis seems to reach new heights every day.

CBP has recorded more than 173,000 apprehensions for four months in a row, with no signs of a slowdown.

🧵 Freedom of Information Act requests aren’t just for media elites. It’s pretty incredible that an NBC reporter thinks parents shouldn’t use them to get transparency.

Especially to get information about schools pushing poisonous concepts like critical race theory on kids.
NBC’s Brandy Zadrozny attacked Heritage earlier this week on MSNBC for standing up against efforts by school boards to force critical race theory on our kids, and accused parents of making “onerous FOIA requests.”
As if parents don’t deserve to use the same tools she does to get transparency.

The @OversightBoard's decision to uphold the suspension is the wrong one—and one that all Americans, regardless of political affiliation, should be concerned about. 🧵
However, it was entirely appropriate to admonish Facebook's vague, standardless penalty.

Big Tech companies should not be allowed to play by a set of rules that give them undue influence over American society while avoiding any accountability for how they use that influence.
It is time for Congress to act and reform Section 230 in a way that respects the rights of those engaged in private enterprise but also ensures companies take responsibility for the choices they make—especially when it comes to censoring individuals and opinions they don’t like.

How reliable are government declarations that mask mandates prevent the spread of the coronavirus?

Our recent experience has left us less than confident that the public should trust the CDC’s published research—much less any pronouncements based on that research.
Our problem involves a paper that the CDC published in November.

The paper studies mask mandates in Kansas because, in July, Gov. Laura Kelly issued an optional mask mandate. Counties could decide whether to enforce the mandate or opt-out.

Many counties DID opt-out, but...
...the larger metropolitan areas did not.

Overall, 24 counties implemented a mask mandate, and 81 opted out.

The left is pushing a false narrative about #HR1 ahead of today's vote in the House—and the media certainly isn't going to call them out on it.

We should be working to secure elections and restore faith in outcomes.

Here's how HR1 would send us in the opposite direction:
#HR1 would seize the authority of states to regulate voter registration and the voting process—by forcing states to implement early voting, automatic voter registration, same-day registration, online voter registration, and no-fault absentee balloting.
#HR1 would make it easier to commit fraud and promote chaos at the polls through same-day registration.
