Despite this, McDaniel and other high-level GOP members continued to call for additional safeguards to be put in place to protect the integrity of the U.S. election.

“We need to know who is voting,” McDaniel said in the interview broadcast Sunday. “Everyone should want legal voters to vote.”

“But we also have to make sure that our elections are not so porous and full of insufficiencies that allow bad ballots to vote or people who shouldn’t be,” she continued. “I think that’s the biggest problem we’re seeing with this election. States that really lowered their standards, that don’t care about signature matching, that don’t care about voter identification laws, that ignore the things that put safeguards in place to protect the election.

“We have to go back to higher standards,” she added. “I don’t know why the Democrats have gone so long to say we shouldn’t have a voter card. People should have to show ID to vote. “

More than 30 states currently require voters to present some form of identification at the ballot box before voting. Some groups argue that voter identification laws can disproportionately deprive voters of color and those in low-income communities, as there may be costs associated with obtaining the necessary documents to receive a coin. identity, like a birth certificate or social security card.
