Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has signed legislation which aims to prevent any agency, or state or local official from accepting private funds for election-related expenses. The law goes into effect July 1.
“Like so many across Mississippi and the United States, I was deeply disturbed by big tech’s attempt to influence the 2020 elections,” Reeves said Monday night in a post on his Facebook page. “Whether it was their attempt to silence conservative voices or suppress information they don’t agree with, California’s technology elite will stop at nothing to push their woke ideology on the American people.
“Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. Citizens must be able to trust election results. Voters must be able to have full confidence their vote is properly counted and represented. This can’t happen without faith in our institutions.”
The law extends to banning private funds being used for voter education, voter outreach, or voter registration programs, according to the release, and for any purposes related to election efforts. read more
Every Republican governor should do the same. That would force future governors to explain if they attempt to repeal the law.
16 months late.
@ D.T.
Exactly. Nothing’s gonna be done about it now. They might as well just pass a law to ban Zuckerburg himself.
Because we can only reject it, if The Party makes it eeeleeegal!?
Reeeeeeeee!
I thought they did this a few decades ago! Evidently they wiped all that aside!
