Today’s Democratic Party is addicted to power and will not surrender it, no matter which presidential nominee Republicans put forth in 2024.

Conservatives have a big opportunity to be the party of free speech and liberty, but only if they are serious about battling “misinformation” laws and defending the Electoral College.

House Republicans’ newly introduced ACE Act suggests they might be.

Almost every provision in the bill is designed to counter or preempt these measures, from mandating photo ID for first-time mail voters, to banning private funding for elections, to prohibiting non-citizens from voting in state and local elections.

The ACE Act is an excellent start, but it needs to go further. Conservatives are learning that saving the country means learning to out-fox the enemy in mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting. That may look ugly to many, but they should remember this: The true glory we aim for is not simply to win an election, but to restore our republic.

Improving ballot access is the focus of new legislation introduced by a Maine congressman.

The Freedom to Vote Act has been introduced by U.S. Sen. Angus King Jr., I-Maine.

The legislation, if enacted, would set basic national standards regarding voting rights.

...

If enacted, the law would be automatic and online voter registration, make Election Day a public holiday, ensure uniform early voting, and same-day voter registration. According to a release, it would also establish federal minimum standards on vote by mail and drop boxes.

According to a release, the bill would also prevent state election subversion by establishing federal protections and protecting election records, infrastructure, and tabulation.

The bill would also establish nonpartisan redistricting reform and ban gerrymandering by requiring states to follow a specific set of criteria for congressional redistricting.

There needs to be a parallel effort in the state legislatures.
It’s possible the USSC will bounce this and say it’s up to the state legislatures. Something I am sympathetic too! (In general, I want more power devolved to the states!). Yes, some legislatures are hopeless, but it still needs to be tried.
