A university that only teaches one side isn't educating, it’s reinforcing a worldview. Patrick McIlheran makes the case for breaking the academic echo chamber.

Advancing American Freedom, led by Mike Pence @VP45, serves the Conservative Movement by developing innovative policy solutions, strategies, coalitions, and messaging. In a recent piece, Senior Legal Fellow @HvonSpakovsky discussed the SAVE Act and state-level voter ID policy:
Congress may be dragging its feet on the SAVE Act, but states can act.
States can pass laws to require proof of citizenship and ID, clean up voter rolls, and enforce election laws.
AAF’s @HvonSpakovsky explains that the responsibility states have to protect election integrity doesn’t begin or end with Congress.
States can and should act now.
