FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>House Republicans are rolling out a \u2018tool kit\u2019 for states that they argue will help strengthen U.S. election security.<\/p>\n

The Committee on House Administration, led by Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., is introducing the Uniform State American Confidence in Elections Act, a package of recommended legislation for states aimed at increasing voter confidence in elections.<\/p>\n

It comes on the eve of the 2024 election cycle\u2019s first big test: the 2024 Republican Iowa caucuses on Jan. 15.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m focused on increasing voters\u2019 confidence and participation in our elections,\u2019 Steil told Fox News Digital. \u2018By providing a tool kit of election integrity bills to states, we are going one step further in securing our elections and increasing Americans\u2019 confidence.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rep. Laurel Lee, R-Fla., chair of the subcommittee on elections, said, \u2018Americans need to feel confident that their elections are secure, which is why we have compiled crucial election integrity measures into model state legislation.\u2019<\/p>\n

The package is not a set of mandatory bills but rather a \u2018practical framework, drawing upon successful election integrity measures implemented in various states,\u2019 according to a one-page summary obtained by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Some of the legislative recommendations include implementing voter ID requirements, banning ballot harvesting and stopping noncitizens from voting, among others.<\/p>\n

It would also push states to ban private dollars from being used in elections. Republicans had pushed back on Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg after nonprofits linked to him and his wife, Priscilla Chan, saw grant money distributed to local election offices throughout the country during the 2020 race.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Democrat-run cities like Washington, D.C., and New York City have tried to pass laws to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections, both of which were challenged in court.<\/p>\n

The new bills being rolled out on Thursday are not likely to get much Democrat support. Democrats have broadly opposed GOP election security efforts, accusing Republicans of trying to make it harder to vote.<\/p>\n

Republicans, however, have pointed to data that shows increased voter turnout in places like Georgia, which saw the number of people voting increase between 2020 and 2022 despite the state levying its own election security measures like stronger voter ID requirements for mail-in ballots and barring people from handing out food and drink to people standing in line at the ballot box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
