The joint hearing of the House Oversight and Administration committees will examine the American Confidence in Elections Act, which would overwrite D.C.'s election laws.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had made clear earlier this year that Republicans would use D.C. to make broad national political points. But Wednesday’s hearing makes clear Republicans will also use deep-blue D.C. to model GOP policy preferences in another area: election laws.
“Congress needs to get serious about election integrity and implement a comprehensive plan to restore confidence in America’s electoral process,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil said in a joint statement. “The American Confidence in Elections Act is landmark legislation set to build voter confidence, equip states, protect Americans’ political speech, and ensure overdue election integrity measures for the District of Columbia.
“This Republican bill would erect barriers between voters and the ballot box, rather than break them down,” he said. “Washington D.C. already has accessible, secure and transparent elections. This bill is a threat to our democracy.”
