220 House DEMOCRATS voted for this.
Every House Republican voted against this.
Under both the Elections Clause of Article I of the Constitution and the Electors Clause of Article II, states have principal—and with presidential elections, exclusive—responsibility to safeguard the manner of holding elections.
DEMOCRATS will instead give Congress primacy over state elections.
DEMOCRATS will establish a “Commission to Protect Democratic Institutions” that would have the power to force judges who rule against one-party rule to testify before a panel of unelected federal bureaucrats. This commission, or any member or subcommittee of the commission, may “hold hearings and sit and act at such times and places, take such testimony, receive such evidence, and administer such oaths as the Commission considers advisable.” This commission will have the the authority to compel judges to justify their legal decisions, threatening their independent judgment and subjecting them to political pressure and harassment.
DEMOCRATS will force all states to issue universal mail-in balloting and require states to wait ten days after election day for any late ballots to be "discovered". “No-fault absentee ballots” are the tool of choice for vote thievery.
DEMOCRATS will eliminate all election integrity measures. Perhaps most egregious is the DEMOCRAT dismissal of all voter ID laws. Although voter ID laws remain popular, with thirty-five states requiring some form of documentary personal identification at the polls, DEMOCRATS will dismantle voter ID laws by allowing a statement to ‘attest' to an individual’s identity and eligibility to vote.
This does nothing to ensure that voters are who they say they are. Worse, it vitiates the capacity of voter ID requirements to protect against improper interference with legitimate voting rights.
DEMOCRATS will force states to register millions of foreign citizens by forcing states to automatically and duplicatively register all people to vote through government outposts such as motor vehicle agencies, state universities, and welfare agencies,
DEMOCRATS are legalizing the registration of uncounted foreign nationals to vote in United States elections.
DEMOCRATS will create voting rights for non-citizens, by compelling states to automatically register every person and prohibit election authorities from checking voter eligibility.
DEMOCRATS will also ban courts from enforcing any legal penalties on foreign citizens who vote in the United States.
DEMOCRATS will expand election fraud by adding to their compulsory voter fraud mandate.
DEMOCRATS will compel states to allow nationwide Election Day voter registration, which will ensure that non-citizens and others ineligible to vote can register and cast fraudulent ballots at decisive moments in key races.
DEMOCRATS will make it illegal to check the eligibility and qualifications of voters or removing ineligible or deceased voters from the electoral rolls.
DEMOCRATS will require every ballot to be considered legitimate.
In addition, DEMOCRATS will eliminate any requirement that a witness sign an absentee ballot, and they will force states to send absentee ballots to everyone who has ever requested one in the past.
DEMOCRATS will prohibit election officials from matching signatures on absentee ballots to voter’s signatures on file. Therefore, DEMOCRATS will eliminate every safeguard meant to protect against fraud.
DEMOCRATS will imprison anyone, such as a local election official or poll watcher, who might question any voter or attempt to establish his or her eligibility to vote. The maximum penalty will be five years in prison.
DEMOCRATS will establish a commission of unelected national bureaucrats to decide where the political boundaries for districts will be, rather than elected officials.
DEMOCRATS will allow convicted felons to vote by requiring states to restore the ability of felons to vote the moment they are out of prison regardless of uncompleted parole, probation, or restitution requirements.
DEMOCRATS don't care that Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment gives states the constitutional authority to decide when felons who committed crimes against their fellow citizens may vote again.
DEMOCRATS will ban state and local officials from preserving the record of paper ballots that make trustworthy post-election recounts and audits possible. ‘‘The voting system shall not preserve the voter-verified paper ballots in any manner that makes it possible, at any time after the ballot has been cast, to associate a voter with the record of the voter’s vote without the voter’s consent.”
DEMOCRATS will mandate that, beginning 45 days prior to an election, “each county in the State, each State shall provide in-person, secured, and clearly labeled drop boxes at which individuals may, at any time during the period described in subsection (b), drop off voted absentee ballots in an election for Federal office.”
Since DEMOCRATS are making it illegal to challenge the validity of a voter or a ballot, anyone could gather up any number of ballots that this law also requires to be mailed to all people listed in every government database, fill them out, and dump them in a drop box - as long as they charge by the hour for their "services", which also legalized.
DEMOCRATS will make “ballot harvesting,” legal nationwide, authorizing any individual to collect as many ballots as they can and turn them in without any questioning or investigation of provenance.
DEMOCRATS will form a commission to consider granting five U.S. territories voting rights, but not statehood. Since Senate rules presently require a 60-vote majority to pass most items of importance, this plan will give DEMOCRATS an insurmountable majority to do whatever they want without changing the Senate rule.
