Democrats' H.R. 1, or "For The People Act," Would Eliminate Key Anti-Voter Fraud Safeguard

Democrats have already passed H.R. 1, also known as the For the People Act, in the House of Representatives; fortunately, the bill faces a much tougher road in the Senate.

It is apparently irrelevant to the drafters of H.R. 1 that every category of Americans supports voter I.D. to secure elections, including Democrats, blacks, and Hispanics.

Typically, when mail-in or absentee ballots are reviewed and verified, two judges, one from each major party, are called on to compare the signature on the returned ballot with the signature on file in the voter rolls.

H.R. 1 puts forth a new standard: In order to reject a ballot based on an unverifiable or incorrect signature, both judges would have to agree that the signature on the ballot is questionable.

Since the standard operating procedure in most localities is that two judges be present, H.R. 1 essentially states that the authorization of only one judge is needed to approve signatures, regardless of how they compare with the signatures on file.

H.R. 1 would devastate the effectiveness of signature verification, as regardless of any issues with signatures - no matter how clear or evident - either party could choose to verify any amount of dubious signatures.

In short, Section 1621 of H.R. 1 would open up our elections to partisan interference and fraud.
