In a bold move, West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner has issued a clarion call for accountability from federal agencies regarding their interference in the 2020 election.
Warner, a Republican, argues that the actions of the FBI, CIA, and other federal bodies in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story significantly undermined election integrity.
He contends that the government’s silence on its previous missteps raises the alarming possibility of repeat offenses in the upcoming elections.
"The federal government must admit there was a problem," Warner emphasized in a recent interview.
"This acknowledgment is essential to restoring confidence in our electoral process."
The suppression of the laptop story, which revealed potential conflicts of interest involving President Biden’s son, is viewed by many as a critical factor that could have influenced voter decisions in 2020.
A striking 79 percent of Americans believe that had the story been reported without government censorship, the election's outcome might have been different.
Warner highlights a troubling duality in how the federal government presents threats to election officials, suggesting this is a distraction from its failures.
"While they wave one hand to distract us, they are doing the dirty work with the other," he said, warning about the insidious nature of internal threats.
The Secretary of State specifically points to executive actions by President Biden, like his "Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting," which he believes are geared towards boosting Democrat voter registrations through federal agency initiatives.
Such actions echo the controversies surrounding the "Zuckbucks" program that funneled millions into Democrat areas during the last election cycle.
"Restrictions should not come from the entities tasked with our safety," Warner stated.
He has reached out to state and federal officials, advocating for investigations into how the federal government may have compromised election integrity in 2020 and seeking mechanisms to prevent such occurrences in the future.
In his view, the failure of agencies like the CISA to acknowledge their previous roles in election interference further erodes public trust.
Warner's outspokenness on these issues not only underscores a growing concern among Republican leaders about election integrity but also challenges the dominant narrative pushed by many in the mainstream media that 2020 was the "most secure election" in history.
As the nation gears up for the 2024 elections, Warner’s demands for transparency and accountability from federal election overseers might resonate with voters who are increasingly wary of government overreach and manipulation.
His call for a thorough examination of past federal actions serves as a rallying point for those committed to safeguarding American democracy from potential internal threats.
