Senate Republicans Defeat Corrupt 'For the People Act'

Senate Republicans torpedoed the "For the People Act," a federal takeover of elections, on Tuesday night.

Senator Bill Hagerty June 22, 2021S.1 makes election fraud easier to commit & harder to detect by allowing unlimited ballot harvesting, undermining voter ID laws, & making it more difficult to maintain accurate voter lists.

Senate Republican Communications Center June 22, 2021Senate Democrats are pushing a false narrative that S.1 is about voting rights.

U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith June 22, 2021S.1 is a power grab that would effectively nullify state voter ID laws, mandate public funding of political campaigns, and transform the Federal Election Commission into a partisan body empowered to limit free speech.

"The Democrats' S. 1 is an unprecedented partisan power grab that seeks to undermine the sanctity of the ballot by codifying a federal takeover of local elections. The Democrat politicians act seeks to eviscerate widely supported voter ID requirements and use taxpayer dollars to bankroll political campaigns," Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a release.

"Americans understand states should run their own elections - not unelected bureaucrats in Washington, DC. As Democrats continue their assault on election integrity, the Republican Party remains committed to making it easier to vote and harder to cheat."

Notably, Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the vote that caused a major priority of the Biden administration to fail.
