Jennifer Decker has solid conservative credentials. A first-term Republican state lawmaker in Kentucky who used to work for Sen. Rand Paul, she represents a county that voted for Donald Trump last year by nearly 30 percentage points.
Yet at a time when many of her Republican counterparts around the country are racing to pass stringent new restrictions on voting fueled in part by Trump’s falsehoods about the 2020 election Decker’s first major bill swerved.
As West Virginia secretary of state, I am the chief election officer in charge of running safe, efficient and fair elections. Amid the pandemic in 2020, West Virginia had an extremely safe election along with a 74% participation rate among active voters. Our outstanding success caught national attention, and I have twice been asked to testify before Congress about the West Virginia election experience. The last time I testified, I strongly objected to the passage of S. 1, dubbed by the politicians as the For the People Act.
This bill is anything but “for the people” as it disenfranchises and confuses voters, it stomps on states constitutional powers, and it epitomizes the tyranny of an over-powerful government by federalizing our elections.

(CNS News) As President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress push for passage of HR 1, a massive election reform bill that Republicans largely oppose because they see it as a way to allow voter fraud and entrench Democratic rule nationwide, the Honest Elections Project reports that only 28% of Americans support the legislation, and that contrary to the bill, 77% of Americans want voter ID.
H.R. 1, the For the People Act, is out of sync with American voters, said HEP Executive Director Jason Snead in a report on the election reform debate. Few embrace its particular provisions, or its guiding principle that election integrity and voter confidence measures make voting hard and that Congress must impose new laws that eliminate them.
