On Saturday, The Federalist<\/a> posted an article about an election integrity group known as Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE).<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret by now the 2020 election was fraught with complete chaos and confusion. In addition to leftist billionaires pouring hundreds of millions of dollars<\/a> into local election offices to alter election operations, the contest was marred by Democrat-backed groups\u2019 orchestrated legal campaign to change state election laws in their favor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regime-approved media were even running stories months before the election forecasting such a strategy. In February 2020, for instance, Politico ran an article<\/a> detailing how \u201ca constellation of left-leaning groups\u201d were \u201cspending millions of dollars\u201d to launch \u201can avalanche of voting-rights lawsuits against state laws they say suppress participation in elections.\u201d The lawsuits<\/a> were widespread in nature, targeting provisions related to voter ID requirements, voter-roll maintenance, ballot signature verification, and more. Whether it was<\/a> Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Michigan, states all over the country were barraged with Democrats\u2019 legal blitz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to prevent similar chicanery from continuing in future electoral contests, an election integrity group known as Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) is launching its counterstrategy ahead of the 2024 election. While speaking with The Federalist, RITE President Derek Lyons described how his organization is employing a three-pronged game plan to halt the left\u2019s legal jihad, the first of which involves protecting existing statutes to ensure states have \u201cthe best election[s]\u201d possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Their goal is to \u201cprotect the integrity of the ballot box from dilution, mismanagement, errors, [and] fraud,\u201d Lyons said. They also want to make sure election integrity laws \u201care well defended and that they\u2019re in place and operational for the upcoming election.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The group is working to support voter ID laws and to assist in legal cases where left-funded groups are attempting to interfere in elections.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

According to Lyons, the final prong of RITE\u2019s election integrity game plan involves \u201ctaking tools\u201d out of leftist attorneys\u2019 toolboxes so they don\u2019t have \u201cas many litigation options when it comes to elections.\u201d Specifically, the strategy is aimed at limiting \u201cabuse\u201d of the \u201cmateriality provision\u201d of the Civil Rights Act, which according to Lyons, has become<\/a> Democrat lawyers\u2019 new \u201cfavorite tool to get into federal court to try and dismantle state election laws.\u201d Cases involving the provision normally deal with absentee ballot issues, such as witness certification, signature matching, and the dating of ballots, according to Lyons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, elections are a critical component to our democracy,\u201d Lyons said. \u201cIt\u2019s the instrument that normal, everyday Americans have at their disposal to try and shape the outcome of this country and it\u2019s vitally important that they believe that it\u2019s an effective tool for doing that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
