Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) in a new interview responded to
questions about the link between former President Trump's claims
of voter fraud and her own party's efforts to change state
voting laws by saying voters should instead look to the contents
of individual bills.

In an interview airing Sunday on "Axios on HBO," Cheney, who
lost her position as House Republican Conference chairwoman over
her continued insistence that Trump lost the election and bears
responsibility for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, danced
around questions from Axios's Jonathan Swan about the connection
between Trump's words and widespread Republican state-level
efforts to tighten voter requirements.

Asked by Swan about what existing problems the legislation was
meant to address if not the former president's claims about
voter fraud, Cheney demurred that each of the more than 300
bills should be looked at separately.

"Well, I think you have to look at the specifics of each one of
those efforts," she said.

Swan countered that he doesn't "think anyone doubts" that there
is a link between Trump's claims that the 2020 election was
stolen and the new legislation, to which Cheney responded that
"everybody" should want a voting system where fraud is prevented.

"I think everybody should want a situation and a system where
people who ought to be able to vote and have the right to vote
can vote and people who don't shouldn't," she said.

Asked again by Swan why the new laws were necessary, Cheney said
that "every state is different."

The comments are some of the first extensive remarks Cheney has
made since her removal from leadership, and they show the
conservative Republican largely sticking to the GOP side of
major issues.

Republicans in numerous states have introduced bills since the
2020 election that would cut access to mail-in ballots while
introducing other restrictions seemingly aimed at discouraging
voter participation, including legislation in Georgia that bans
volunteers from offering water or food to those waiting in line
to vote.

Trump, meanwhile, has maintained that his election defeat in
November was a sham in repeated statements.
