Representative Jim Banks of Indiana is known for his fight against election fraud.

James Edward “Jim” Banks (born July 16, 1979) is a Republican U.S. Representative from Indiana and the current chairman of the House Republican Study Committee.

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]

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.
