As Americans across the country grapple with uncertainly over the impact of Wuhan coronavirus, Democrats in Washington D.C. are doing everything possible to exploit the crisis.
As reported Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi crammed a number of irrelevant and damaging provisions into a previously bipartisan relief process. Democrats in the Senate, led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, took her bait.
One of the major power grabs in Pelosi's bill would federalize elections and increase the chances of voter fraud.
Here are the "top five most egregious provisions" of Pelosi's bill from the office of Ranking House Administration Committee Member Rodney Davis:
(Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com ...
The five:
1. Ballot Harvesting – House Democrats are nationalizing ballot harvesting, a process where a political operative may come to a voter’s home, collect their absentee ballot, and deliver it to a polling location.
-We saw this process misused in the last election in North Carolina’s 9th District when a political operative illegally harvested ballots and did not properly deliver them.
-Ballot harvesting lacks a proper chain of custody protection.
-There is no limit to the number of ballots that individuals could turn in.
-This does not follow social distancing practices, and it’s unnecessary, as ballots with pre-paid postage are readily available.
2. Same-day Registration – Requires states to allow individuals to register to vote on Election Day.
-Same-day registration has been shown to create an administrative hurdle for elections officials and often results in longer lines at the polls.
-Election officials have little to no time on Election Day to verify the information the voter is giving is correct.
3. Private Rights of Action – Further burdens states with potential future lawsuits.
-If a state is unable to comply with the stringent requirements of this bill by Election Day 2020, liberal groups would be empowered to sue the state.
-Given the unrealistic timeline of the implementation of these mandates, it is likely many states would be at risk of costly litigation.
4. Polling Locations – Prescribes unrealistic, uniformed polling location requirements on States.
-Mandates that states place polling locations in areas within walking distance of public transportation.
-Implies that states’ current polling locations are in discriminatory areas by creating a vague standard for states to move their polling locations to “nondiscriminatory” areas.
-The federal government does not know the state’s best polling locations better than the state.
5. Provisional Ballots – Any provisional ballots must be counted no matter where cast within the State.
-It creates chaos for local election officials to manage and maintain local elections, as different municipalities have differing ballots - even in adjacent precincts for local elections like school boards and county commissioners.
-Disenfranchising voters from participating in their local elections and prioritizing only federal or state elections.
That’s nothing. There’s a huge thread on Twitter listing all the crap they’re trying to ram through.
Funding for the Kennedy Center, COrporation for Public Broadcasting, Howard University, the IRS, the list goes on and one. The time that these asshats have wasted even WRITING this, to say nothing of debating and voting on it is just mind boggling.
I’m so sick of Congress I could vomit...….
She is truly a disgusting individual.
But PDJT will have to sign the bill to make it a law.
Will he? How desperate he is to get a deal from Nancy?
Really sucks when I can’t say what I’m thinking...
Elections look simple but are the result of tens of thousands of people executing procedures that have been developed over the last 100 years or more. Those procedures have been carefully developed to avoid fraud, mistakes, inappropriate influence on voters, access for the disabled, and security against foreign meddling.
Throwing all of that out now is crazy.
Oh, I’ve been saying it out loud.
I’ve called Rubio and Scott and told them do not back any Democrat plan.
It is, plus a whole lot more than that!

That’s why PDJT should tear it up or shred it in front of her stone face.

This will never be approved by me, or any other Republican!”
GOOD!
Ballot Harvesting and Fetus Harvesting.
All you need to know about these cretins.
Trump should go into the oval office and give a “fireside type” chat with the American people explaining how the RATS are blackmailing the American people. He should list in detail all the outlandish money grabbing demands the RATS want to pass the bill.
And the early version included money to Planned Parenthood. How is that fighting the virus or helping the economically affected people?
If they were really human the Dems would feel shame over this attempt to exploit suffering and grab more power. They do not.
