House Rep. Lee Zeldin: ‘Voter Identification and Signature Verification Should Be Enacted By Every State Legislature in the Nation’

House Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) was one of the Republican congressional representatives who stood by former President Trump and stuck with objecting, even after the protest at the Capitol delayed the certification of the electoral college votes.

Today, Zeldin tweeted out what he believes should happen in regards to voting going forward.

“Voter identification and signature verification should be enacted by every state legislature in the nation,” Zeldin explained.

Zeldin believes that “Ballot harvesting and widespread, no excuse mail in balloting should not.”

“Everyone who thinks otherwise is telling you a lot about where they stand on ballot integrity,” Zeldin concluded in the tweet.

Zeldin voted yes on two objections to the electoral vote count in the early morning of Jan. 7 and he said on the floor of the House that “many of my constituents have been outraged and demanding that I voiced their objections here today.”

“This debate is necessary because rogue election officials, secretaries of state and courts circumvented state election laws. Over the past four years, Democrats boycotted President Trump’s inauguration and State of the Union addresses, pushed the Trump Russia collusion conspiracies and investigations and knowingly lied about it, voted to impeach the President before even knowing what to impeach him for, and then actually passed the Articles of Impeachment before Senate Democrats voted to remove him from office,” Zeldin added in his floor speech regarding the objections.
