🧵 @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:

✅ 77% of Americans support photo ID
✅ 66% support ID requirements for absentee ballots
✅ 68% agree states should never send unsolicited ballots
✅ 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
