House to Vote on Voting Reform Again
|
|
House Democrats are realizing their majority reign could soon come to an end. In order to solidify their seats, they have introduced yet another voting reform bill, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (H.R. 4). While they keep pushing the message that this bill would help minorities, the text tells a different story.
H.R. 4 is essentially no different than H.R. 1, the For the People Act. It’s simply a federal power grab of state-conducted elections. The federal government would control the laws and procedures of elections in all 50 states. This means that laws regarding voter identification, voter roll cleanups, citizen-only voting, and poll watching could be stricken by D.C. politicians. States would have to ask permission from the Department of Justice to pass their own voting laws. If you thought the November 2020 election was a disaster, this would make every election just as corrupt.
The idea that this bill would help minorities is completely bogus. The Supreme Court upheld Arizona’s voting law that opponents claimed disenfranchised minorities. Yet, Democrats continue this false narrative. It’s not hard to see their lack of concern for the American people in every other bill they pass, so H.R. 4 is no different. We must fight to protect the freedoms of the American people to have a say in their elected officials.
Call or email your Representative today to ask them to vote NO on H.R. 4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
