Democrats undemocratic voting bill

 Jeff Dunetz:

One of the most sacred rights and responsibilities of American citizenship is voting. We are supposedly guaranteed that every person’s vote is worth as much as every other person’s. That guarantee has never been perfect. Blacks weren’t allowed to vote until the 15th amendment in 1870, and women until 1920’s 19th Amendment, but the tradition of the United States has been to aspire toward honest elections.

The Democrats are trying to move responsibility for elections from state to federal governments and remove state laws protecting against voter fraud. President Biden and the Democrats are pushing a bill that bans voter ID and other protections against illegal voting. According to the President, anyone who doesn’t support his “voting rights” bill is a racist. I submit to you that the President’s bill itself is racist. The Democrats are pushing to reduce the value of every legal vote, including those of African Americans. The bill destroys a fundamental principle of our democratic republic: one man, one vote.

According to the Heritage Foundation listed the worst provisions of the Democrat’s bill as you read the below, you will see that they will open the flood gates to destroy the concept of one man one vote by allowing people who have no legal right to vote, to cast ballots anyway:

• Ban state photo voter ID laws, including prohibiting any ID for absentee ballots or the signature of a witness, making it impossible to verify the authenticity of the vote;
• Make it easy to commit fraud and promote chaos at the polls by requiring states to implement same-day voter registration, giving election officials no time to verify the accuracy of the registration and the eligibility of the voter or to anticipate the number of ballots and election workers needed at polling places;
• Degrade the accuracy of voter registration lists by severely restricting the ability of states to verify the eligibility and qualifications of voters and removing ineligible voters;
• Require states to allow online voter registration not tied to an existing state record on an individual, such as a driver’s license, which would open up registration systems to massive voter registration fraud by cybercriminals;
• Require states to automatically register individuals to vote from state and federal databases, such as state Departments of Motor Vehicles, which would result in the registration of ineligible voters, including aliens, and cause multiple registrations of the same individuals (the sponsors know this, which is why they’ve put in an immunity-from-prosecution provision for aliens who get registered);
• Give unaccountable and unelected bureaucrats at the U.S. Department of Justice veto authority over most election changes made by state legislatures – an invasion of state sovereignty that violates federalism and overrides the decisions of the voters and their elected state representatives to determine the election rules for their state;
• Require states to restore the ability of felons to vote the moment they exit prison, voiding state requirements that criminals first complete all the requirements of their sentence such as parole, probation, and restitution payments to their victims;
• Provide a public funding program for congressional candidates, forcing taxpayers to support candidates they would never vote for or send campaign contributions to;
• Force states to provide drop boxes for absentee ballots without requiring any security protocols, as well as force states to allow voter trafficking, i.e., letting paid political operatives, candidates, campaign staffers, and others with a stake in the outcome of the election to pick up and handle absentee ballots; and
• Implement a whole series of restrictions and changes to federal campaign laws that would limit political speech and turn the Federal Election Commission into a partisan law enforcement agency.

In a 1964 ruling in Wesberry v. Sanders, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that equality of voting, one person, one vote. In his majority opinion, Justice Hugo Black wrote in part, “If the Federal Constitution intends that when qualified voters elect members of Congress each vote be given as much weight as any other vote.”

There is more.

Democrats do not appear to think they can win a fair election so they are bent on destroying voter integrity and devaluing the legal votes of Americans.  The Democrat law is also unconstitutional since the framers specifically provided that the state legislatures were to write the voting rules for each state.

The Democrats are also pushing this awful bill against the will of the people who overwhelmingly support voter integrity measures like requiring a valid ID to vote.
