Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader and member of the bipartisan National Council on Election Security Bill Frist authored this op-ed on the need to count every vote to get the outcome right.
“We owe it to the American people to get this right. That why I joined with 40 other former elected officials, former Cabinet secretaries, retired military officials, and civic leaders from both sides of the aisle to launch the National Council on Election Integrity. We are committed to defending the integrity of the 2020 election and to ensuring that every American’s vote is counted, no matter the times it takes.
Our country successfully held elections in the midst of the Spanish Flu of 1918, the Great Depression, and two world wars. There is no doubt in my mind that we can do so again in 2020.”
