With Sen. Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republicans in the 50-50 Senate voting against moving forward with the "For the People Act of 2021," the Democrats' plan to put elections under federal rather than state and local authority was shelved Tuesday.
Limits states' ability to work with each other to determine which voters are registered in multiple states simultaneously.
Prohibits election observers from cooperating with election officials to file formal challenges to suspicious voter registrations.
As we previously noted, the For the People Act "Federalizes elections, putting our voting system in the hands of Deep State bureaucrats and political insiders." Rather than local officials being directly accountable to voters, Washington functionaries would be free to act as they please.
Among the worst provisions of the bill is its requirement that states allow "Ballot harvesting," in which third parties collect ballots on behalf of groups of voters, such as those in nursing homes.
"The Constitution deliberately decentralizes power over elections as it does over most other areas of law, leaving states and localities to determine rules for when, where, and how to cast a vote," Shapiro and Harvey continue.
The Democrats' appetite for raw political power is displayed not only in the For the People Act, but as well in their attempts to curb speech they don't agree with; a red-hot desire to pack the Supreme Court; their tacit approval of the cancel culture; an eagerness to ram through vote-buying legislation; and their campaign to pick up more Democratic voters by adding Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., to the union.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
