Jason Chaffetz exposes Democrats' 'behind-the-scenes tactics' to change our election process
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Democrats want to change the Electoral College and are implementing “behind-the-scenes tactics” to achieve their goal, said Fox News contributor and former Rep. Jason Chaffetz to Fox News.
Chaffetz, a Republican who served Utah’s 3rd congressional district from 2009 until his retirement in 2017, told “Fox & Friends” on Friday that Democrats are "using the levers of government to try to negate the 2016 election but then do things in 2020 that they should never, ever do.”

“If the Democrats had their way, they want to be able to go out and collect everybody’s ballots without you having to go to the poll[s].”
“You could supposedly sign it, but they want to collect this. They did it in California. They took about eight seats from Republicans in California.”

Chaffetz said his new book, “Power Grab,” is premised on what Democrats are “doing behind the scenes” to invalidate the 2016 election results and undermine the election process.

Chaffetz also said that the “left’s” use of “intimidation” and “shaming” - like the recent suggested Hollywood blacklist of Trump supporters - is actually making President Trump “stronger politically than he has ever been before.”
