Courage for America Condemns Introduction of Another Bill Perpetuating the Big Lie

“The introduction of this bill reaffirms the fact that MAGA Republicans refuse to accept the truth about the 2020 election and will stop at nothing to further their anti-democratic agenda.” 

WASHINGTON, D.C — Today, Courage for America released the following statement in response to the House and Senate introduction of the so-called “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.” This legislation is a byproduct of the continuous spreading of misinformation surrounding the 2020 election and the legitimacy of the election results.

“Instead of uplifting legislation that focuses on the needs of working families, MAGA Republicans in Congress are pushing their anti-democratic agenda that does nothing to support our democracy or the American people. The introduction of this bill reaffirms the fact that MAGA Republicans refuse to accept the truth about the 2020 election and will stop at nothing to further their anti-democratic agenda,” said José Morales, spokesperson for Courage for America. “It’s already illegal for non-citizens to cast a ballot in federal elections and states have secure systems in place to prevent non-citizens from voting. Numerous studies confirm that these concerns are baseless, but MAGA Republicans are using xenophobia as a vehicle to push the Big Lie further. Congress has a responsibility to defend our democracy from extremists’ threats, and a duty to certify the results of free and fair elections. It’s time that they begin to do so instead of undermining democracy.”
