quote:

Democrats want to strip states and local jurisdictions of their control over elections and hand power to President Joe Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice and its left-wing allies to override election integrity laws.

Sens. Raphael Warnock, Dick Durbin, and Chuck Schumer reintroduced HR 14, dubbed the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, on March 1, more than two years after it failed to make headway in the Senate after being passed by the House in 2021.

If the bill were to pass, it would enable the Department of Justice to “intervene anywhere in the country to overrule local or state authorities whenever the left alleges that changes in the laws could theoretically disadvantage minority voters,” as Jonathan Tobin explained in these pages in 2022.

The left’s inability to recognize their own despotism is breathtaking. It is reason number 1 that I cannot even respect democrats anymore, and I used to be one lol.

Good thing the bill has no chance of passing right now, but it surely makes you nervous when they get a majority again.

Would love to have our resident democrat/left leaning lawyers come on here and defend this.

How on earth could this remotely be considered Constitutional?

Not Constitutional in a very plain way.

I can almost guarantee without reading the bill it codifies mass mail in ballots harvesting and drop boxes and greatly restricts states from requiring voter ID, paper ballots and same day voting.

Sanctimonious and condescending liberals who think minorities are too stupid to fill out a voter id are using them to save their own sanctimonious and condescending controlling positions.

Time for a convention of the states to vote for spitting the country and totally eliminating the federal government in D.C.

That would be the point of the tree of liberty needing refreshed, along with a convention of states, and a few other much needed scenarios that I can't type out.

Dems need to stay in their own lane. Average tax paying Americans don't want or need them to decide what's best for us, like their "disadvantaged" voters.
We are perfectly fine with the Constitution our forefathers created. Progressive, globalists, Dems can frick off.
