Pelosi and the Voting Rights Act Nightmare

[RMNIXON]

Note H.R. 1 Passed the House Yesterday 234-193:


Pelosi’s H.R. 1 Is an Authoritarian Outrage




Democrats like to accuse anyone who doesn’t embrace every one of their brand-new, rapidly evolving, Constitution-corroding positions of being “authoritarians.” It’s often an impressive feat of projection. For a pristine example of the genre, take Jonathan Chait’s recent New York magazine piece alleging that former vice president Mike Pence is laying the “blueprint” for a fascistic GOP state in his new Heritage Foundation op-ed.

What “authoritarian” diktats does Herr Pence have in store for our fragile American democracy? For starters, the former vice president argues that states, as they always have, should conduct their own elections rather than permit a narrow partisan majority led by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to unilaterally nationalize and dictate the rules for every locality in perpetuity — as they did with a House vote on a sweeping measure known as H.R. 1.

To be more precise, Pence writes that he opposes empowering the federal government to:

• compel states to count mail-in votes that arrive up to ten days after Election Day.
• compel states to allow ballot harvesting.
• compel states to ban voter ID laws.
• compel states to allow bureaucrats to redraw congressional districts.
• compel states to allow felons to vote.
• compel states to undermine free-speech rights by imposing “onerous legal and administrative burdens on candidates, civic groups, unions, nonprofit organizations.”

The latter of these initiatives is an outrageous attack on the First Amendment, but all of them are contained in some way in H.R. 1 — which amounts to an integrity-corroding, banana-republic attempt to override the will of states, which most Democrats don’t seem to believe should exist. Or, at least, not for the red ones.

What Pence failed to mention in his op-ed is that the bill would also mandate 15 days of early voting, automatic voter registration, and online voter registration. It would compel states to count ballots cast by voters who are in the wrong precincts, prohibit election officials from reviewing the eligibility of voters, and bar officials from removing ineligible voters from the rolls. It would create a Soviet-sounding “Commission to Protect Democratic Institutions” to circumvent the judicial system.

Now, even if you support some of these proposals on a state level, most of them didn’t exist in any state a few years ago.

It is unconstitutional.

So, rebellion, or civil war?

I used to believe civil war was the right approach. But we no longer have a functioning Constitution. So maybe a rebellion is the right approach.

Tyranny must be opposed. I see very little opposition. I expected way more lawfare, using the law as a weapon of war.

[Jeb!]

The leftist media has been trying to pressure Sinema and Manchin to end the filibuster. They ask Manchin about it constantly.

[RMNIXON]

They claim that photo is Pelosi tearing up President Trump's Speech but perhaps it was the Constitution all along?

[Sybil Ludington]

They keep saying "compel states". What their plan, to withhold funds that states SHOULD get and HAVE gotten until they comply?

Whats not so funny is the Lame Stream media pushing this as voting Rights and going with Pelosi and the Demo narrative that Repubs are trying to restrict peoples Right to vote.


Rather than telling the truth as to what the Deviates Bill is really about.

Neither will.....as both like to see Schumer grovel.

Yep and states will have to take it to court.


McCarthy warns Democrat-backed HR 1 is Pelosi power grab ...

Feb 28, 2021 · McCarthy warns Democrat-backed HR 1 is Pelosi power grab meant to erode election confidence 'American public have the most to lose because we would lose our freedom,' McCarthy said









Every House Democrat last week signed onto the sweeping election reform bill H.R. 1 – also known as the For the People Act – saying it will expand voting rights and "clean up corruption" in politics. But Republicans have ripped it as a "federal government takeover" and accuse Democrats of trying to change election rules to benefit themselves......snip~


Btw the Democrtas dont have 234 members in the House. What needs to come out is the Repubs that voted for this bill. Immediately, their names.


And we need more than just 2 or 3 Repubs sounding off about this. Its time Repubs stand up and show some spine. Right now 40 to 50 Repubs from the House should be out in front of the cameras and painting out Pelosi as a Deviant.

None of these would apply to state elections. SCOTUS would not see any violation by the states of the Voting Rights Act.

Pence: Dems' voting plan gives leftists 'permanent, unfair, and unconstitutional advantage'



Lets get the name of any Repubs that voted for Pelosi's bill out to the public. How many are Repubs that voted to impeach Trump?
