HR1 Is the Democrat Party’s Coup de Grâce in Their Complete Takeover of the United States – Will Codify Their Election Fraud In Perpetuity The Democrats announced they were going to table the horrible US ‘Build Back Broke’ bill yesterday. This news came as Senator Manchin continued to show his hesitation in supporting the economically suicidal legislation. Instead, they are going to again focus on their national election bill – HR1. This is a complete communist takeover of America’s election system.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz blocked Senate Democrats’ attempts to pass voting rights legislation overnight, delivering a blow to Texas Democrats who had remained in D.C. to press the Senate to vote on the bills before leaving Washington for summer recess. In a back-and-forth with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor around 3:30 a.m., the Texas Republican objected repeatedly as the New York Democrat sought consent for the Senate to consider a series of voting bills. Cruz denounced the legislation as “a federal government takeover of elections” and a “massive power grab by Democrats.” The roughly 15-minute...

Chuck Schumer brought HR1 – SR 1 to the floor around 3:30 a.m. after the Senate had concluded 15 hours of amendment votes on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution. In the dead of night, Schumer sought to pass the federal overhaul of elections by unanimous consent, according to the Houston Chronicle. Only one objection by a senator was required to stop the process. In a roughly 15-minute back-and-forth, Cruz tanked Schumer’s attempt to force the election bill through the Senate.

For the past several months, we’ve seen the left fighting against election integrity reforms in the states. They reject such reforms and are trying to impose a federal takeover of elections to force changes to state laws that would facilitate, whether intentional or not, greater fraud and tampering.But that’s not the only reason they are fighting.They are also using this fight as a Trojan horse to get something even bigger: the death of the Senate filibuster. Once the legislative filibuster is gone, the floodgates will open for all their extremist policies — not just the federal takeover of elections, but...

Leave it to liberal grifter Washington Post opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin to make a fool of herself by complaining that corporate America isn’t woke enough on voting rights. Rubin’s new whiny op-ed was headlined “Corporate America must commit to action on voting rights.” The self-described “pro-democracy opinion writer” flailed that corporations “talked a good game” after George Floyd’s murder. But that wasn’t enough for Rubin. She decried how there “has been little concrete evidence [corporate America is] working to preserve democracy and the rule of law on which their businesses rely.”

During a detailed discussion with The Federalist on Wednesday, representatives from the Georgia Secretary of State’s office provided their perspective on new evidence suggesting more than 10,300 Georgian voters illegally cast ballots in the November 2020 general election. Last week, The Federalist reported on recently obtained data indicating tens of thousands of Georgia voters had violated Section 21-2-218 of the state’s election code, which requires residents vote in the county in which they reside, unless they had changed their residence within 30 days of the election. Shortly after the November 2020 election, Mark Davis, the president of Data Productions Inc....

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that so-called “voting rights” could be included in the Democrats’ more expansive infrastructure package they were planning to pass with a simple majority vote using the reconciliation process. Klobuchar said, “We’ve seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, Dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in Georgia, that not only denies voters water when they’re standing in line but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. And guess what? You have to register 29 days before.” She...

The tangled web of voter reform laws, the Trump voter fraud accusations, and the Secretary of State Office's findings show why we need more digging on what happened in Georgia.During a detailed discussion with The Federalist on Wednesday, representatives from the Georgia Secretary of State’s office provided their perspective on new evidence suggesting more than 10,300 Georgian voters illegally cast ballots in the November 2020 general election.Last week, The Federalist reported on recently obtained data indicating tens of thousands of Georgia voters had violated Section 21-2-218 of the state’s election code, which requires residents vote in the county in which...

Republican "anti-voting" laws, President Joe Biden claimed during his demagogic speech at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia this week, are the most "significant test of our democracy since the Civil War." These laws are "odious," "pernicious," "vicious," "unconscionable," a "subversion" and "suppression," the "21st-century Jim Crow" and the sure sign of an emerging "autocracy." Biden's fabricated panic offers lots of space for hyperbole but precious little room for specifics. I was prepared to fact-check Biden's contentions about new election laws, but the president offered few details. Perhaps he comprehends that most Americans would probably find voter-integrity laws rather innocuous....

We will overcum...we will overcum...we will overcum... Enterprise crew hold their ears in agony, including Uhura. Enterprise explodes.

Paul Sperry: WARNING: If you think vote fraud can't get worse, think again. Democrat Congress set to pass "HR.1" bill to make vote fraud radically easier across nation rather than just in Dem-controlled counties like Fulton. Dems to also pass Stacey Abrams-backed Voting Rights Advancement Act

This week, the Democrats’ bill to federalize our elections, S.1—also known as the “For the People Act”— failed to pass the U.S. Senate. Thanks to the filibuster, the bill fell short of its needed 60 vote threshold. The filibuster stopped a partisan power grab that was designed to protect the Democrats’ majority. S.1 was a radical bill that would have made our elections less secure, and prone to widespread fraud. It even would have even banned popular voter ID laws. We should all be thankful for Sen. Sinema and Sen. Manchin for resisting calls from the radical left to eliminate...

H.R. 1, the For the People Act, was a messaging piece of legislation that was never meant to be passed. But Democrats are increasingly held hostage by the wing of the party that believes Twitter is real life. Now, the same forces seem intent on dismantling the Biden Administration. First, the Twitter activists of the left bought into the For the People Act rhetoric. The progressive base fully believes the GOP is dismantling democracy. News anchors roared that the GOP couldn't even debate saving democracy or protecting the right to vote. Most Americans do not care. They support needing a...

As Democrats regroup after evidence of their overreach in Tuesday’s failure of HR1, here are three lessons Republicans need to themselves ingest before the next round. And there will be a next round. The first: HR1 is not a voting rights bill; it never was. It’s a vehicle to directly assault federalism. This isn’t about securing the sanctity of voting rights, it’s about a rising and energetic numerical majority concentrated in our cities getting impatient with the constraints of federal union. And so, what is their natural response? It’s really pretty blunt: they want to pass a law to explicitly...

This week, the Democrats' bill to federalize our elections, S.1, failed in the U.S. Senate. Thanks to the filibuster, the bill fell short of its needed sixty-vote threshold. The filibuster stopped a partisan power grab that was designed to protect the Democrats' majority. S.1 was a radical bill that would have made our elections less secure, and made it easier to commit voter fraud. It even would have even banned popular voter ID laws. We should all be thankful for Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema for resisting calls from the radical left to eliminate the filibuster. Without them,...

S.1 failed to advance in the Senate, leaving progressives in disarray. For months, activists and politicians have pushed the phony narrative that new “Jim Crow” voting laws are putting democracy in peril, all to build pressure for a sweeping federal takeover of elections. But the euphemistically-named “For the People Act” has failed to win the support of even 50 Senators, prompting progressives to begin teeing up the backup plan: HR4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act. It’s easy to see why S.1 stalled. The bill upends the election systems of all 50 states. Its provisions eliminate voter ID laws, let partisan...

It’s over, and we are thankful.It was a 50-50 procedural vote along party lines, but H.R. 1/S.1, the supposed “For the People Act” has been blocked by Senate Republicans. Sixty votes were needed in order to open debate on this legislation before entering into a vote on the actual bill. Because the Republicans were able to successfully filibuster, that 60 vote threshold was not met. The legislation is now dead on the Senate floor.MCCONNELL: The biggest lie being told in American politics has been that the states are involved in a systematic effort to suppress the vote. That's not happening....

One of the least-discussed elements of the U.S. House-passed For the People Act is how it could potentially allow illegal immigrants to vote in U.S. elections. It’s yet another move by Democrats to permanently rig the rules of American elections in their favor.The so-called voting rights bill requires states to automatically add to their voter registration rolls every person — regardless of their voter eligibility — who partake in government programs, such as welfare, university financial aid or Medicare. This could add hundreds of thousands of ineligible voters to the rolls, leading to a massive blow to our election integrity...

Katy Perry and her British movie star boyfriend Orlando Bloom have been criticized for 'fake virtue signalling' and 'propaganda' for a 'dystopian' video set in the future where democracy was dead. The pair, dressed in rags and in makeup portraying them as dirty, are seen calling voters from 2021 from an apocalyptic scene in 2055, and suggested the dire scene began when the 'voting rights bill died in the Senate'. In the video for the advocacy group representUS, they are referring to the HR1 For The People Act, which Democrats have said will expand voting rights by mandating at least...

Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) said the quiet part out loud on Sunday while she was discussing the House’s sweeping elections reform bill, H.R.1. The Democrat-controlled House in March passed H.R. 1, a massive elections reform bill making it easier for Democrats to steal elections. The House Democrats previously introduced the “For the People Act of 2021” which will ensure Democrats can count ballots for days and days after an election until they have enough votes to win. The Democrats used Covid as a vehicle to successfully steal the White House and the Senate (and possibly the House) with ballot...
