James Edward “Jim” Banks (born July 16, 1979) is a Republican U.S. Representative from Indiana and Senator-elect from Indiana.
On January 15, 2021, Representative Banks introduced the Save Democracy Act, which is designed to reduce electoral fraud by requiring the following in federal elections:
- no ballot harvesting
- voter citizenship verification
- no automatic voter registration
- no mailing of unrequested absentee ballots
- voter ID for in-person voting
- no allowance of ballots received after Election Day
- ballot counting must continue uninterrupted until completion, and other protections for counting votes
Banks is known to have a hawkish track record like when he voted to restrict Trump's withdrawal from Afghanistan [1]
Some argue that on November 30, 2021, Banks exposed himself as a RINO when he voted in favor of H.R.550, which would provide grants to state vaccination databases to help them meet "federal standards".[1][2] The bill gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services the right to unilaterally impose such "federal standards", with priority given to standards developed by "consensus-based organizations."[3] This in turn can potentially be used to justify both future corruption within and future abuses of power by the Department in relations to vaccinations, and perhaps even serve as a framework for the creation of a federal vaccination database. However, the bill is not a database.
