Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania's 1st District has emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law to protect election integrity. In a statement released from Washington, DC, Fitzpatrick highlighted the critical role that adherence to legal principles plays in maintaining public trust and fairness within American democracy.

Fitzpatrick stated, "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." He warned against ignoring judicial rulings, suggesting that such actions could undermine not only election integrity but also the democratic system itself.

The Congressman expressed concern about the potential consequences of disregarding judicial decisions. "To disregard judicial rulings undermines the rule of law, and the consequences extend far beyond a single election," he said. According to Fitzpatrick, this behavior could lead to chaos and division while eroding public trust in governance.

Fitzpatrick called for a collective effort to maintain free and fair elections across communities and the nation. He urged unity in rejecting any attempts to weaken legal frameworks that support democratic principles. "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," he concluded.
