	JD Vance on Government Reform

It's time to end the COVID-era changes to our elections

Give Republicans power, and we try to pass a new law; give Democrats power, and they try to legalize electioneering and ballot harvesting. It's time to end the COVID-era changes to our elections--we need to go back to having an election day in this country, not an election season, and we need other common-sense measures too: Voter ID, signature verification on absentee ballots, and an end to mass mail-in voting.

Universal voter ID, but make it easier to get

Vance said he supports a universal voter ID. "And absolutely, if people can't afford to get an ID, you don't want that to prevent them from being able to vote. You want to make it easier for people to vote, but you want to make it easier for them to vote in a fair and safe way. You want basically legal votes to count, illegal votes not to count, and making voter ID the law, that way it actually I think facilitates and supports that goal."

End mail-in voting bonanza, make Election Day a holiday

Bannon, who has advanced adherence to the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump as a litmus test for GOP candidates, asked for Vance's thoughts on the matter. Vance answered indirectly while proposing an end to "this mail-in voting bonanza" and saying that Election Day should be a national holiday. Source: NBC News on 2022 Ohio Senate race , Jul 1, 2021

Investigate 2020 election, but we already know what happened

[On election fraud]: "I think we've got to investigate as much as possible," Vance said of the 2020 election results. "I believe sunshine is the best disinfectant. And we're going to learn a lot about what happened. But, you know, I think at a basic level we already know mostly what happened." Other Republicans in the race have indulged in false or unsubstantiated claims about the last election. Source: NBC News on 2022 Ohio Senate race , Jul 1, 2021
