CDZ Why are republicans opposed to HR1?

[RetiredGySgt]

Anyone that does any of the listed things is auto registered with absolutely no attempt to prove identity status or legal standing. that means illegals that do any of those things are AUTO registered.

 

[Indeependent]

it basically takes away a lot of individual freedom and increases the power of government...

Name those individual freedoms enumerated by Article, Section and Clause in the Constitution which would be taken away from the People and those governmental powers taken from the People and absorbed by the government!

If a State Constitution had a law prior to the USC, the State's law takes precedent; but it seems you already knew that.

H.R. 1 FACT SHEET

CLEAN AND FAIR ELECTIONS

Improve Access – H.R. 1 expands access to the ballot box by taking aim at institutional barriers to voting, including cumbersome voter registration systems, disenfranchisement and limited voting hours. H.R. 1 will create automatic voter registration across the country, ensure that individuals who have completed felony sentences have their full voting rights restored, expand early voting and enhance absentee voting, simplify voting by mail, reduce long lines and wait times for voters and modernize America’s voting system.

Promote Integrity – H.R. 1 commits Congress to build the record necessary to restore the Voting Rights Act, as embodied by the House-passed H.R. 4. It also commits Congress to deliver full congressional voting rights and self-government for the residents of the District of Columbia, which only statehood can provide, prohibits voter roll purges like those seen in Ohio, Georgia and elsewhere and ends partisan gerrymandering to prevent politicians from picking their voters.

Ensure Security – H.R. 1 ensures that American elections are decided by American voters, without interference, by enhancing federal support for voting system security, particularly with paper ballots and also by increasing oversight of election system vendors and by requiring the development of a national strategy to protect U.S. democratic institutions.

END THE DOMINANCE OF BIG MONEY IN OUR POLITICS

Guarantee Disclosure – H.R. 1 shines a light on dark money in politics by upgrading online political ad disclosure and requiring all organizations involved in political activity to disclose their large donors. H.R. 1 also breaks the so-called ‘nesting-doll’ sham that allows big-money contributors and special interests to hide the true funding source of their political spending.

Empower Citizens – H.R. 1 strengthens the political power of hardworking Americans by creating a multiple matching system for small donations. This innovative, 21st-century system of citizen-owned elections will break the stranglehold of special interests on Congress and lay the groundwork for an agenda that meets the needs of the American people. The voluntary multiple matching system will be completely paid for by a new surcharge on corporate law breakers and wealthy tax cheats. That way, the individuals and corporations who break the public trust – like Wells Fargo, which created fake bank accounts for unwitting customers, or Volkswagen, which lied about harmful carbon emissions from its vehicles, or Facebook, which violates Americans’ privacy, or Purdue Pharma, which fueled the opioid crisis – bear the cost of building a more just and equitable democracy. H.R. 1 also reaffirms Congress’ authority to regulate money in politics, pushing back on the Supreme Court’s wrong-headed Citizens United decision.

Strengthen Oversight – H.R. 1 ensures that there are cops on the campaign finance beat that will enforce the laws on the books. H.R. 1 tightens rules on super PACs and restructures the Federal Election Commission to break the gridlock and enhance its enforcement mechanisms. It also repeals Mitch McConnell’s riders that prevent government agencies from requiring commonsense disclosure of political spending.

ENSURE PUBLIC SERVANTS WORK FOR THE PUBLIC INTEREST

Fortify Ethics Law – H.R. 1 breaks the influence economy in Washington and increases accountability by expanding conflict of interest law and divestment requirements, slowing the revolving door, preventing Members of Congress from serving on corporate boards and requiring presidents to disclose their tax returns.

Impose Greater Ethics Enforcement – H.R. 1 gives teeth to federal ethics oversight by overhauling the Office of Government Ethics, closing loopholes for lobbyists and foreign agents, ensuring watchdogs have sufficient resources to enforce the law and creating a code of ethics for the Supreme Court.

It's a recipe for voter fraud.

All voting should be when you show up in person to the poll with a government issued photo ID on Tuesday in November, unless you have a legit excuse to get an absentee ballot.

The voter fraud myth has been thoroughly debunked. Try again.

Fuck you.

Go ahead and try to prove that there's no voter fraud, you fucking retard.

I don't have to. Everyone from the GA election officials to Billy the Bagman Barr his own bad self has said there wasn't. Even Moscow Mitch McConell said so, along with the then vice president Pence.

Th voter fraud thing has been completely debunked. Get over it.

Of course you are lying as usual.

How the fuck do you explain the voter fraud convictions if voter fraud is just a myth, you low IQ piece of subhuman garbage?

And Synthaholic, you know that means talentless work right? You'd be better to familiarize yourself with 80s music, it's somewhat similar but requires talent and it's nice music as opposed a computer any child can do.

The OP may or may not realize that it takes an extended time for the truth to come out when those that favor the lies and control the public narrative (the Democrat Party, the fake news media, Big Tech and liberals worldwide) suppress it.

Users on this forum who have a history of supporting the Democrat Party and their socialist/Marxist/communist agenda will strongly support HR1 simply because it is a zealous Democrat's pipe dream, due to its blatant unconstitutionality.

What's unconstitutional about it?

Read the links I posted. It involves the federal government usurping the powers of the state legislatures regarding rules of elections in their states.

Try this one instead: It is to the point.

I don't know that except as DEAD WRONG! If a State law conflicts with Federal law, the federal law stands SUPREME!

US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2;
"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land;"

That's referred to legally as the Supremacy Clause. When a State joins the Union, that State cedes a portion of its sovereignty to the United States!!

You're arguing about the wrong part of the constitution. Regarding elections:

The U.S. Constitution, in Article 1 and Article 2, grants the principal responsibility to manage elections to the states. States are also given the exclusive responsibility to manage the presidential election within each states. States are not required to have procedures identical to other states.

State Discretion in Choosing Electors | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress

An annotation about Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution of the United States.

constitution.congress.gov

ArtII.S1.C2.1.2.1 State Discretion in Choosing Electors
Article II, Section 1, Clause 2:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The federal government has no powers in determining this procedure except as related to protection of the integrity of the process.

Under Federal law, marijuana is illegal.
Yet under California and Colorado state law, marijuana is legal.

why?

So what do we do with states that legalized a federally banned product in marijuana? What about Oregon’s legalization laws? What about border patrol not being allowed into some cities where the federal allows them to patrol?

State vs. Federal Law: Who Really Holds the Trump Card?

If a state law gives people more rights than a federal law, the state law is legally supposed to prevail. This means state law will always supersede federal law when the person in question stands to gain more from the state law, right? Wrong.

They should implement facial recognition technology as the method of identification for everything. That way there would be no need for paper identification. That would not only validate our voting system but it could help secure our borders, our airports, our government transfer payments and many other things. If our government actually wanted fair elections, they're not acting like it by pushing this HR1 travesty.
