The Freedom to Cheat Act: The Radical Left’s Latest Attempt to Undermine Our Democracy

Democrats in Congress are unable to move forward on their massive spending bill because of bipartisan opposition. Polling showed President Biden’s Big Government Socialism Bill was wildly unpopular with the American people. That is no surprise when you consider it did not address any of the significant issues facing American families today like sky-high gas prices, rising food costs, spikes in violent crime, and a shortage of products because of a failing supply chain.

So, what’s next for the radical progressives in Congress? That would be pushing another wildly unwanted, unnecessary, unpopular bill.

The Left now wants a complete federal takeover of our local elections. The U.S. Constitution gives state legislatures the right and responsibility to decide how they will conduct elections. After all, what works in Massachusetts, may not work in Montana, Mississippi, or Maine. However, the Left is fixated on trying to convince Americans to believe a more invasive federal government is somehow the answer to everything.

I will pose the question this way: Does it make sense to let the federal government run our state elections?  After all, this is the same incompetent federal government that botched the Afghanistan withdrawal, leaving thousands of Americans stranded. It is the same federal government that has given us gas prices 82 percent higher than last year; leaves our borders open to drug cartels, human trafficking, and child smuggling; and admits to being caught so flatfooted on dealing with COVID-19 that it does not have enough tests, is denying therapeutics to American citizens, and has seen more deaths in 2021 than in 2020.

Republicans in Congress have skewered the Democrats' agenda to take over elections nationwide – while ignoring inflation, Joe Biden's southern border crisis and more – as revealing of the party's goal: set up biased processes and win elections forever.

The comments from the Republicans came even has House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, tried a procedural trick to attempt to get their voting takeover plan into law, and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat from Arizona, likely created the end of the line for the plan anyway.

Just the News reported Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel publicly blasted the Democrats' agenda as the "Freedom to Cheat Act."

At a news conference with National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Sen. Rick Scott they blasted the Democrats agenda, which already is in disfavor with voters, and their neglect of real issues facing the nation.

Regarding the Democrats' two bills that would allow elections nationwide to be altered with processes and procedures that favor the Democrats, McDaniel said, "We call it the Freedom to Cheat Act. It eviscerates state voter ID laws which 36 states have passed. This bill eliminates states' more secure voter ID requirements, replacing them with a process that is rife with fraud, no IDs presented, and a third person only needs to attest that a voter is who they claim to be. I know, based on polling across every spectrum, Democrat, Republican, every minority group, people want people to show ID to vote and this is one aspect, just one, in which -- and there are others -- in which the Freedom to Cheat Act would eviscerate any type of verification for people to vote."
