This is just the start -- those thinking that the GOP isn't dead or has a chance in '22 needs to open their eyes!
House Democrats move on H.R.1 ‘For the People Act’ to eliminate voter ID requirements, remove GOP congressional seatsThe House Rules Committee held a hearing on H.R.1, which looks to link the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act with the For the People Act. While the latter is called the For the People Act, many contend it should actually be called “For the Democrat Party Act.â€
This portion of H.R.1 looks to eliminate voter identification laws and make mass mail-in ballot systems federally mandated.
While Congress doesn’t have the authority to dictate how state election commissions run elections, the bill seeks to punish states who require IDs and require mail-in ballots to be requested by voters.
Republicans have argued that the Constitution does not grant Congress that authority.
“The Constitution simply does not permit Congress to mandate these issues, states and localities must be involved, that’s what the Constitution requires,†Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) stated.
How do they plan to do this? Well, the bill says Congress has the ability to reduce a state’s seats if they break these rules. To put it in simpler terms, the only states with these secure election procedures in place are run by Republicans. Now, Democrats in Congress want to punish these states by taking away their congressional seats........
