Washington, D.C. – Today, the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) released the following statement from Ken Blackwell, Chair of the Center for Election Integrity at AFPI, regarding the Uniform State ACE Act, a new toolkit for state election policy introduced by Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) and Subcommittee on Elections Chair Laurel Lee (R-FL). This Act includes several policy pillars championed by AFPI’s Center for Election Integrity, including requiring photo ID, prohibiting ballot harvesting, banning Ranked Choice Voting, and establishing firm deadlines for when all ballots must be received.

“This new federal toolkit provides states with 13 critical model policies that will restore American confidence in elections. I commend Chairman Steil and Congresswoman Lee on their stellar work modeling what states should strive toward. States that enact these policies will find that their elections are held to an excellent standard, protecting each legal vote and each legal voter and upholding accountability, transparency, and integrity. This legislation provides a template for states to make it easy to vote but hard to cheat.”
