Statement On The 2020 Presidential Election And The American Democratic Process
November 6, 2020
The New York Young Republican Club stands with pride and without equivocation against the Democrats and their allied media machine as they attempt to cheat the American people out of a free and fair election in their continued campaign to malign and discredit President Donald J Trump.
Our Club’s mission statement has long called for us “to promote honest and fair electoral methods, to the end that the expression of the popular will by whatever party or body, shall be as free, untrammeled and equal as possible.” This mission drove us to fight against Democrats and their corrupt Tammany Hall institution a century ago, and today we continue to carry the mantle of respect for the American people’s will. We will never abandon our mission to ensure that the American people receive rightful respect from government institutions.
For too long, the United States has relied on the law of large numbers to govern its elections. Instances of alleged fraud tend never to be investigated; they are deemed to have an immaterial impact with no comprehensive justification. At the same time, issues with the American voting process pervade each aspect of it.
From voter registration to actual voting to the security of ballots to the tabulation and aggregation of results, American voting has systemic flaws. No regulated institution would be permitted to have such a lax control environment over its governance process; we believe that the government must hold itself to the same standard.
President Trump and his representatives have raised credible allegations of fraud. They have initiated legal proceedings against state governments too inept to handle their own processes fairly. These state governments have made the United States a laughingstock.
We call on all Republicans, particularly those elected or re-elected, to help President Trump defend the integrity of the American people’s votes. Republican legislators owe their positions to President Trump and his leadership, and, in his time of need, they must stand by him without wavering. Republicans and the American people at large demand and deserve nothing less.
The New York Young Republican Club condemns the use of an eighteenth-century voting process operating in a society that leverages twenty-first-century communication technology. We encourage the federal government to enact legislation that mandates the following for all federal elections:
