With the For the People Act, Democrats, Not Republicans, Are the Real Threat to Democracy
Townhall ^ | 01/04/22 | Dr. John R. Lott

With the anniversary of January 6th this week, Democrats are using it to push massive election reforms. They claim the reforms are necessary to save Democracy. Indeed, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says the situation is so dire that it is necessary to change long-held Senate rules so that Democrats can pass the bill on a pure party-line vote.

The For the People Act of 2021 replaces state voter ID rules with a signed statement from the voter, and makes permanent the pandemic’s mail-in ballot voting. The mailing out of blank absentee ballots en masse would become a fixture of American elections. But the bill goes well beyond that: for example, replacing the bipartisan structure of the Federal Election Commission with one-party control and regulating advertising in newspapers and other media.

The Democrats do not even need to push bad election reforms. Five states with Republican legislatures in the 2020 election looked the other way while late night ballot stuffing and one-sided double counting of ballots occurred. So Republicans were complicit in the 2020 election outcome. My guess is that the 2020 election outcome was pre-negotiated between the parties. That is why Trump’s election advisor, Kelly Ann Conway, quit 6 months before the election and Trump ran a lame campaign toward the end.

The only reason two political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

Deep State is the threat.

And the RCV provisions that were in HR1 are in this abomination of a bill, too.

The uniparty tyranny must end. We have no future if it does not.

Democrats. Mob rule. And we see how their mobs ruled in Portland, Furguson, and at various shopping malls around the country. Sadly, the republicans and conservatives are falling in to the same stupid trap the democrats always set for them. Using THEIR language.

I wish is wasn’t true, but my God you are 100% correct. The Land of the Free has disappeared and is now the USSA.
