June 4, 2023 Meet the Press - June 4, 2023 Sen. Mike Rounds
June 15, 2022 Tweet - "In the 2020 election, Google filtered nearly 70% of GOP candidates' emails into spam folders. What about Democrat candidates? Only 8% of Dem emails were sent to spam. This is clear, quantifiable political bias from Big Tech. Unacceptable & anti-democratic." Sen. John Thune

Jan. 12, 2022 Tweet: Democrats are dealing in distraction. They don't want Americans focused on their many failures -- the southern border crisis, skyrocketing inflation, disastrous Afghanistan exit, COVID, etc. -- so they are manufacturing a "voting rights" crisis. It's easier than ever to vote. Sen. John Thune
Jan. 11, 2022 Tweet: Voting should be easy and accessible, but Democrats' "voting rights" bill isn't about getting more Americans to the polls or strengthening faith in our system. They have openly admitted that this bill is about giving their party an advantage in the next election. Sen. John Thune
Jan. 6, 2022 Tweet: My statement on the anniversary of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot Sen. John Thune
Jan. 5, 2022 Thune: Democrats Want to Change the Rules in the Middle of the Game to Pass Radical Policies Sen. John Thune
Nov. 4, 2021 Tweet - "Democrats are living in a bubble & tuning out the message that Americans sent loud and clear at the ballot box. The American people see what's in Democrats' Build Back BIGGER, nanny state, big-government approach, and they don't want that to be our nation's future." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 20, 2021 Tweet - "Democrats' election "reform" bill is a thinly veiled federal takeover of our election system -- crafted to help Ds win elections. It doesn't matter how many times we vote on it, the result will be the same: Republicans will reject it." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 20, 2021 Tweet - "Democrats' election "reform" bill is a thinly veiled federal takeover of our election system -- crafted to help Ds win elections. It doesn't matter how many times we vote on it, the result will be the same: Republicans will reject it." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021 Tweet - "It's obvious that Dems believe Washington elites know what's best for everyone -- even South Dakotans. They're pushing for a federal takeover of states' authority -- telling them how to hold elections -- and forcing their liberal views on abortion laws and immunization requirements." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021 Tweet - "Democrats seem to have forgotten that the states created the federal government, not the other way around. South Dakotans don't want Washington elites -- who may have never stepped foot in our state -- to be writing our election laws. Plain and simple." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 21, 2021 Tweet - "I'm noticing a distinct pattern of Democrats trying to force Republican-governed states to bend the knee to their radical agenda. We are not going to allow Democrats to rewrite election laws in South Dakota, or any other state. Period." Sen. John Thune

July 14, 2021 Texas Sen. John Thune
June 23, 2021 The Washington Post "Washington Post Live" - Transcript: Sen. Rounds Discusses Cattle Market, Ransomware and Infrastructure on Washington Post Live Sen. Mike Rounds
June 22, 2021 For the People Act of 2021 Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021 Tweet - "Here's how Politico characterized Ds' election bill this am: "It's always been a messaging bill -- a check-the-box move allowing party leaders to tell the left they tried." That's not a GOP politician saying it. That's from a paper that covers Capitol Hill day in and day out." Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021 Tweet - "Once you pull back the curtain on Ds' "election integrity" bill, it's nothing more than a move to help Ds win elections. It would force states to turn over elections to D.C. bureaucrats. I don't think Speaker Pelosi & Sen. Schumer should be governing South Dakota's elections." Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021 Tweet - "Today's vote summed up: Republicans believe that states have the authority *under the Constitution* to conduct elections & decisions are better when they're made closer to the people. Dems believe Washington bureaucrats are better positioned to make decisions." Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021 Tweet - "There are so many reasons to vote against Ds' election bill that it's hard to name them all. This bill would not only loosen voter fraud protections, it would direct billions of taxpayer dollars to political campaigns. The speaker herself admitted it would help Ds win elections." Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021 Tweet - "If Ds were to get their election bill passed, current senators' campaigns could receive more than $1.8 billion taxpayer dollars. Yes, this bill would use Americans' hard-earned money to fund yard signs & attack ads. GOP will reject." Sen. John Thune
June 17, 2021 Tweet - "If Dems had their way, you'll need an ID to: cash a check drive a car see a doctor pick up an online grocery order rent an apartment get married apply for SNAP, social security, unemployment adopt a pet pick up a prescription donate blood rent a scooter But not to vote ... ?" Sen. John Thune
May 25, 2021 H.R. 1 Sen. John Thune
May 13, 2021 For the People Act of 2021 Sen. John Thune
May 11, 2021 Biden Administration Sen. John Thune
May 11, 2021 Tweet - "Dems' election bill is chock-full of unwise policies that put ridiculous federal mandates on states like South Dakota that already have well-run election systems. One example, it actually *bans* states from requiring an ID to vote. It's not good policy. It's a power grab." Sen. John Thune
April 21, 2021 For the People Act Sen. John Thune
April 20, 2021 Infrastructure Sen. John Thune
March 24, 2021 Tweet - "What's the first bill Dems would likely pass if they break the Senate filibuster rule? A bill to federalize elections, restrict states' rights, & eliminate protections for election integrity." Sen. John Thune
Jan. 26, 2021 Rounds Supports Legislation to Establish Election Integrity Commission Sen. Mike Rounds
Jan. 21, 2021 Biden Administration Sen. John Thune

Jan. 6, 2021 Tweet - "Today has been a sad day for America. The violent behavior at the Capitol is inexcusable and disgusting, but we won't be deterred from our Constitutional duty. We need to work together to protect our democracy. Please pray for our country." Sen. John Thune
Jan. 5, 2021 Rounds Statement on the Formal Count of the Electoral College Votes by Congress Sen. Mike Rounds
Jan. 3, 2021 Rounds Takes Oath of Office for Second Term in U.S. Senate Sen. Mike Rounds
Nov. 10, 2020 Tweet - "Even Dems themselves are acknowledging the election was a rejection of the radical left agenda. They shrunk their House majority, lost races they were predicted to win, & didn't grasp the Senate majority on election night. I genuinely hope Dems reflect & start working with us." Sen. John Thune
Nov. 6, 2020 Tweet - "With several races too close to call, we all have the same goal: making sure every legal vote is counted -- and counted accurately. All of us have a duty to make our democracy work. Let's remember how much still unifies us. ONE nation under God." Sen. John Thune
Nov. 4, 2020 Tweet - "Congrats to my friends @SenatorRounds & @RepDustyJohnson on winning reelection. South Dakota is lucky to have you both in Washington advocating for our great state. I'm glad to have you on our team and look forward to continuing our work together to support South Dakotans." Sen. John Thune
