Sen. Mike Rounds
June 15, 2022
Tweet - "In the 2020 election, Google filtered nearly 70% of GOP candidates' emails into spam folders. What about Democrat candidates? Only 8% of Dem emails were sent to spam. This is clear, quantifiable political bias from Big Tech. Unacceptable & anti-democratic."

Jan. 12, 2022
Tweet: Democrats are dealing in distraction. They don't want Americans focused on their many failures -- the southern border crisis, skyrocketing inflation, disastrous Afghanistan exit, COVID, etc. -- so they are manufacturing a "voting rights" crisis. It's easier than ever to vote.
Sen. John Thune
Jan. 11, 2022
Tweet: Voting should be easy and accessible, but Democrats' "voting rights" bill isn't about getting more Americans to the polls or strengthening faith in our system. They have openly admitted that this bill is about giving their party an advantage in the next election.

Thune: Democrats Want to Change the Rules in the Middle of the Game to Pass Radical Policies
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 4, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats are living in a bubble & tuning out the message that Americans sent loud and clear at the ballot box. The American people see what's in Democrats' Build Back BIGGER, nanny state, big-government approach, and they don't want that to be our nation's future."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 20, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats' election "reform" bill is a thinly veiled federal takeover of our election system -- crafted to help Ds win elections. It doesn't matter how many times we vote on it, the result will be the same: Republicans will reject it."

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "It's obvious that Dems believe Washington elites know what's best for everyone -- even South Dakotans. They're pushing for a federal takeover of states' authority -- telling them how to hold elections -- and forcing their liberal views on abortion laws and immunization requirements."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats seem to have forgotten that the states created the federal government, not the other way around. South Dakotans don't want Washington elites -- who may have never stepped foot in our state -- to be writing our election laws. Plain and simple."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 21, 2021
Tweet - "I'm noticing a distinct pattern of Democrats trying to force Republican-governed states to bend the knee to their radical agenda. We are not going to allow Democrats to rewrite election laws in South Dakota, or any other state. Period."
