WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) released the following statement today:

"At the core of American democracy is the principle that every vote matters and every rule must be followed. The rule of law is not just a guideline; it is the foundation of our democracy, ensuring fairness, consistency, and public trust. When we ignore it, we jeopardize not only the integrity of our elections but also the very fabric of our democratic system.

To disregard judicial rulings undermines the rule of law, and the consequences extend far beyond a single election. This creates a dangerous precedent that invites chaos, fosters division, and further erodes the trust of the American people. Protecting the promise of free and fair elections in our communities and across the nation requires a united commitment to reject any attempts to undermine the rule of law and to preserve the democratic principles that have supported our nation for centuries."
