U.s. Rep. Ashley Hinson Negative On Dems’ Election Proposal

Saying it should be “easier to vote legally and harder to cheat,” U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson voted against the campaign finance and voter access bill that passed the U.S. House this week, but she declined to weigh in on an Iowa bill that limits early voting.As now proposed, House Resolution 1 would automatically register eligible voters, allow for same-day voter registration and voting by mail and a host of other measures Hinson charged would “federalize elections.”“I think we should be improving the faith in our electoral process, but this would overrule states’ constitutional authority,” the Marion Republican, who represents Iowa’s 1st District, said during a Friday call with reporters.The bill, now in the Senate, would ban lawmakers from sitting on corporate boards and stop lawmakers from using taxpayer money to reach settlements in employment discrimination cases stemming from their own actions.
