The House Rules Committee held a hearing on
H.R.1, which looks to link the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act with the For the People Act. While the latter is called the For the People Act, many contend it should actually be called “For the Democrat Party Act.”
This portion of H.R.1 looks to eliminate voter identification laws and make mass mail-in ballot systems federally mandated.
While Congress doesn’t have the authority to dictate how state election commissions run elections, the bill seeks to punish states who require IDs and require mail-in ballots to be requested by vote
How do they plan to do this? Well, the bill says Congress has the ability to reduce a state’s seats if they break these rules. To put it in simpler terms, the only states with these secure election procedures in place are run by Republicans. Now, Democrats in Congress want to punish these states by taking away their congressional seats.
This is awfully convenient, given that Republicans are likely to take back the House majority in 2022
