“We as Republicans have a distinct, different philosophy on what the federal government’s role in elections should be. We believe that the states and localities are the best ones to get their voters to the polls and recognize what’s going to give everybody an opportunity to cast a vote,” Davis said.

Davis pointed to worries that a quick change to a vote-by-mail system could cause some voters to be vulnerable, an argument that’s been repeated by advocates for Native Americans, disabled societies and others.

The House Democrats’ broad HEROES Act is not likely to be adopted as statute.
