Rep. Lisa McClain to Newsmax TV: 'We Have to Instill Some Faith' in Elections

By    |   Tuesday, 09 February 2021 07:04 PM EST

Freshman Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., touted her "Voter Confidence Act" bill to Newsmax TV on Tuesday, saying its bicameral, bipartisan commission to review the policies and practices of the November election would be akin to a football team watching game film to find out what was done right and what was not.

"We had an election in which many, many, many people had a lot of concerns about our democratic process and our voter process," McClain told "The Chris Salcedo Show." "We as a government, as a body, have to instill some faith in our voting system."

McClain, 54, who represents Michigan's 10th Congressional District – the lower peninsula known locally as "The Thumb," introduced her bill with Rep. Lloyd Smucker, R-Pa., in the House last week, while Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., introduced it in the Senate.

"After a football game, what do teams do?" McClain said. "They take a step back and they look at game films. And they look at 'What did I do right?' and 'What did I do wrong, and what can I improve upon?'

"I think with the debacle of this election, I think that is a very good idea. If it makes sense to do it for a football game, why wouldn't we want to do it for one of the most important rights that we have as American citizens, and that's the voting process."

The bill would review laws, regulations, and procedures to examine the "impact on the security and integrity of the election."

"I'm hard-pressed to believe that anybody, on either side of the aisle, thinks that that was our best showing in the last election cycle," McClain said.
