Sen. John Cornyn: Dems' election power grab – here's how Republicans fighting partisan assaults on voting

The election overhaul legislation Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., tried to ram through the Senate perverts the cause of voter access to hand one party unassailable political power.

And it creates countless opportunities for fraud by allowing paid campaign operatives to collect ballots, tying states’ hands when it comes to maintaining accurate voter rolls, and preventing states from requiring identification to vote. Make no mistake – there’s no national assault on voting rights.  The reforms in this bill are not only out of line with the views of Republicans – they’re way out of line with the views of the American people.
