CHAPIN ROSE)<\/p>\n<p>Senator Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) has introduced a bill he says would improve election security in Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation would require voters to present photo identification at the polls, make so-called &#8220;ballot harvesting&#8221; illegal, eliminate the use of drop boxes for ballot submissions (which Rose says makes the opportunity to fraudulently game our elections all too easy), and make several other changes to enhance the security of elections and ensure that illegal aliens are not voting in Illinois elections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For far too long, Illinois has ignored basic election security measures that people expect and deserve,&#8221; said Senator Rose. &#8220;Requiring a photo ID to vote is just plain common sense. Letting often paid canvassers collect ballots (a process known as &#8220;ballot harvesting&#8221;) and then toss these ballots, all together, into an unsecured drop box on the side of a street is a recipe for disaster. The legislation I filed will clean up the system and ensure our elections are secure and trustworthy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In Senate Bill 181, Senator Rose proposes significant reforms to prevent fraud and restore public confidence in Illinois elections. By implementing stricter voter identification requirements, making &#8220;ballot harvesting&#8221; a crime, and eliminating drop boxes, among other items in the legislation, he aims to provide greater accountability and security in the voting process.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The right to vote is our most precious right guaranteed by the Constitution. We must take every measure to safeguard it.&nbsp;Shady election rules that make election fraud possible and laws that make it easy for non-citizens to vote illegally perpetuate fraud on the people of Illinois and cause great harm by their deleterious impact on the trust of the public in the outcome of our elections,&#8221; Rose added. &#8220;Illinois voters deserve an election system they can trust and believe in.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(SEN.
