Only Democrats Are Allowed to Push for 'Election Reform'

"The Constitution gives to each state legislature authority to determine the 'Manner' of federal elections...Yet both before and after the 2020 election, non-legislative officials in various States took it upon themselves to set the rules instead. As a result, we received an unusually high number of petitions and emergency applications contesting those changes. The petitions here present a clear example. The Pennsylvania Legislature established an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail-in ballots: 8 p.m. on election day," Thomas wrote.

"Dissatisfied, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended that deadline by three days. The court also ordered officials to count ballots received by the new deadline even if there was no evidence - such as a postmark - that the ballots were mailed by election day. That decision to rewrite the rules seems to have affected too few ballots to change the outcome of any federal election. But that may not be the case in the future. These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority non-legislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable."

"One wonders what this Court waits for. We failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us," he continued.

This week, House Democrats moved to push forward with HR1, an "Election reform" bill that federalizes U.S. elections and has the potential to solidify power on the Left forever.

It codifies many of the election tactics used by Democrats during the 2020 election to move previously ineligible votes and ballots into a legal category with little to no verification.

Democrats shamelessly move forward with their own election agenda that created the doubt in the first place.

In other words, only Democrats are allowed to question elections, talk about election reform or implement changes to the system.
