(DCWatchdog.com) – In a new attack on MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump, this time coming from a much-hated RINO, former GOP U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney has voiced profound concerns, questioning House Speaker Mike Johnson’s ability to impartially certify the 2024 election results.

Her skepticism voiced on “Meet the Press,” highlights the inherent dangers of political bias in critical governmental roles.
Cheney, who claims to be a staunch opponent of any deviation from constitutional principles, is wary of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s intentions.
Johnson, a known Trump supporter, fueled by hardline rhetoric, has shared claims suggesting voter fraud, echoing Trump’s previous unsubstantiated allegations.
Johnson insists he will certify a free and fair election, yet Cheney doubts his commitment, especially if Vice President Kamala Harris were to win.
Johnson’s assertions include potential voting by non-citizens.
He alleges that certain Democrat-leaning states have relaxed voter registration requirements to skew election outcomes.
This echoes fears within conservative ranks about undermining the legitimacy of U.S. elections. Still, it’s crucial to note that federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections.
“Congress adopted the National Voter Registration Act’s quiet period restriction to prevent error-prone, eleventh hour efforts that all too often disenfranchise qualified voters,” Assistant U.S. Attorney General Kristen Clarke said in a statement.
Cheney’s fear is rooted in precedent. After the 2020 election, over 100 Republican legislators, stirred by Trump, refused to acknowledge Joe Biden’s victory.
Cheney’s stance has distanced her from the extreme elements within her party, especially after her endorsement of Kamala Harris for president.
She warns of more considerable consequences if the GOP retains control of Congress imperative steps in the 2024 election.
In response, Johnson advocates for measures like the SAVE Act to tighten voter registration.
This has been met with criticism for alleged voter suppression intentions, which Democrats claim would disproportionately affect minorities and low-income American citizens.
Johnson, meanwhile, reassures his intentions are purely constitutional.
The implications of a polarized political environment weigh heavily, especially with election integrity under the microscope.
