U.S. Senate Candidate Mike Gibbons has released the following statements on J.D. Vance’s comments pertaining to France's electoral system:
“In advocating for France’s national popular voting system, J.D. Vance called for not only automatic voter registration and proxy voting, which would gut the integrity of our elections, but for one-party rule by the same coastal elites he worked side by side with his entire adult life.
The Founders created the Electoral College as a check and balance that ensures true representation by having the vote from a rural state count as much as from a coastal state. The Electoral College has allowed many of America’s best leaders to rise to the forefront and change our country for the better, including President Trump.
Vance’s comments showcase his disregard for our electoral system, his lack of understanding on how to secure our elections, and how he is clearly not ready to take on the many constitutional issues faced in the U.S. Senate.”
