House Democrats Pass Federal Takeover of America’s Elections

Sean Moran 24 Aug 2021

Democrats passed legislation Tuesday that would federalize America’s electoral system, giving President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) significant control over election law.

The House passed H.R. 4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021. The bill passed 219-212, with Democrats strongly in favor of the bill and Republicans largely against the bill.

Democrats named the bill after the late Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), a prominent civil rights activist.

So we hope.

The future of our nation hangs on what Joe Manchin has for breakfast.

If Biden weren't a rat his entire agenda wouldn't be worth warm spit because of his embarrassing surrender in Afghanistan. But with the GOPe as the loyal opposition I'm afraid my money is on him still getting most of everything he wants, domestically, passed.

I hope the same 20 or so state attorneys general who have sued the Biden administration over immigration and gun regulation will also file suit to challenge this blatantly unconstitutional act (if it passes the Senate).

I'm sure it will, but the woke mafia in charge now will just ignore anything a court orders it to do if it doesn't rule their way. At this point I'm not sure anything short of being physically expelled from office will stop these ignorant marxist thugs.

If only we had an effective party to support.

It is show and tell time for SCOTUS.  Either put up or go home, your wasting our time.
The constitution clearly and undeniably puts the states in charge of the elections.

And we have seen them in action very recently!

The constitution also makes them the court of first and last resort in disputes between states and Texas, along with 25 other states, lacked "standing" to stop several states from violating the constitution.

That suggests to me there is at least one (R) who voted for it, so the Rats can declare it a "bipartisan bill."  The article does not list the turncoats.  So who are they?

Next step may need to be 1776 revisited if that happens.

It's obvious they don't but a bigger question is will a corrupt SCOTUS actually do their job and over turn it if it passes? The DCP is getting closer and closer to what it wants. Resistance won't turn out like the DCP thinks it will.

@mystery-ak

The part in bold tells you everything you need to know about it. Lewis was a retard on his better days,and not usually THAT smart.

An Affirmative Action legislator put in office by racist blacks and retarded whites.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Precisely.

Of what use is a constitution that no one is willing to always enforce on all parties?  Asking for a friend.

I'm confused.  According to that, the Rats have 233 seats,and the GOP only 197?

Do we really even NEED a "Supreme Court" any longer?

I'm coming to the conclusion that perhaps it should be abolished.
Let the lower courts settle the minor cases.

As for "major" cases that reach the federal "appeals level" -- I'd just as soon put the decision to "a national referendum", similar to how the Swiss people "have the final vote" on some issues of national importance.

That's in, "put the final decision into the hands of the American people", and NOT "the Congress" or anyone else.

Send the Supremes home.
Make the court building a museum, or something.

Then there is no need for a constitution as you are only entitled to what the mob allows.... NOT GOOD but I understand your point.We need to fire folks, not just judges, but career feds.  I continue to believe that most of our problems stem from"go along to get along" rather than doing the job you are hired to do.Built in cover ups...

I counted the abstentions, they were in that chart.   :shrug:

If I were Dominion, I'd be sweating a bit right now.  If heads do roll over the AZ Audit results, my bet is they will be the scapegoats to draw the blame away from the crooked politicians.

I really doubt the politicians can escape the fact that they hired them, and that they were responsible for the outcome--especially if it benefited them or their party pals.
