CDZ Why are republicans opposed to HR1?

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.

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.

www.huffpost.com

This does not apply to any laws, state or federal, that violate the provisions of the US Constitution.

HR1 strips the power to establish election procedures from the states and gives it to the federal government. We were established as a collection of separate but united states, not as just one big homogeneous country. This is precisely why our founders included specific provisions in our constitution to preclude a dictatorial centralized government. It took a costly and bloody war to gain our independence from one such form of government.

Those that are promoting HR1 don't want to respond to it because they know it's true and they know it's unconstitutional. It is an attempt by our
socialist/Marxist/communuist Democrat Party to obtain votes from non-citizens of the United States.

A vote-online provision is the same. That would give them votes from all around the world.

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.

wrong again.. more is coming out daily,,,

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?

if it were anybody but you we would take time to explain it,,

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.

HR1, the For the People Act

sarbanes.house.gov

.

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.

wrong again.. more is coming out daily,,,

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?

if it were anybody but you we would take time to explain it,,

but we all know youre not here for honest debate,,

You can't explain it because it isn't.
Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

You're not familiar enough even with the outline of the constitution to participate in any debate over the constitutionality or lack thereof associated with HR1

I'll give you a hint:

The first three articles of the constitution cover the three branches of our government.

Article I covers the Legislative Branch
Article II covers the Executive Branch
Article III covers the Judicial Branch


You are stupidly trying to use Article I in rebuttal to content within Article II.

 

[Staidhup]

The shotgun approach will not succeed in accomplishing the intended purpose, that’s if you buy the title, like the COVID relief bill, full of crap, designed to fit their objective. Sad to think most Americans are so naive and gullible to believe this crap.

 

[Dadoalex]

I'm sure you realize that it does none of that and in fact, violates the Constitution in a number of areas.

But you want the Democrats to be in charge of elections so you'll buy whatever bullshit story you are fed.

YEAH! Let's go down that list...or up

Stronger ethics measures...Well, after four years of Trump and 150 years of McConnell it is certain Republicans oppose ethics.
END THE DOMINANCE OF BIG MONEY IN OUR POLITICS...Big Money? Of course Republicans are against taking the Sheldon Addisons out of the mix. Where else are you going to get $200M in secret donations?
Clean and Fair Elections...Everyone gets to vote and no voter suppression? OF COURSE Republicans oppose fair elections. As they've said themselves..."We can't win in a fair election."

Your constitutional claim is both false and ignored.

 

[ThoughtCrimes]

Not if the State law came first.

Well GOSH, why didn't the Framers think of that. Ever hear of Chief Justice Marshall of the Supreme Court? Go to the link below and read and understand a whole lot more about the Supremacy Clause and the US Constitution! That will do a lot to assuage your ignorance!

Summation and Evaluation
Although McCulloch v. Maryland and Gibbons v. Ogden were expressions of a single thesis, the supremacy of the national government, their development after Marshall’s death has been sharply divergent. During the period when Gibbons v. Ogden was eclipsed by the theory of dual federalism, the doctrine of McCulloch v. Maryland was not merely followed but greatly extended as a restraint on state interference with federal instrumentalities. Conversely, the Court’s recent return to Marshall’s conception of the powers of Congress has coincided with a retreat from the more extreme positions taken in reliance upon McCulloch v. Maryland. Today, the application of the Supremacy Clause is becoming, to an ever increasing degree, a matter of statutory interpretation; a determination whether state regulations can be reconciled with the language and policy of federal enactments. In the field of taxation, the Court has all but wiped out the private immunities previously implied from the Constitution without explicit legislative command. Broadly speaking, the immunity which remains is limited to activities of the government itself, and to that which is explicitly created by statute, e.g., that granted to federal securities and to fiscal institutions chartered by Congress. But the term “activities” will be broadly construed. ~~ NATIONAL SUPREMACY ~~
This was too long to post it in its entirety so do some reading from the top!

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.

You are dead wrong. My exchange with another which you piggybacked had everything to do with his supercilious statement and nothing to do with your ignorant assertion!

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

Then answer me this riddle please.

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

why?

You are dead wrong. My exchange with another which you piggybacked had everything to do with his supercilious statement and nothing to do with your ignorant question you could look up yourself regarding the enforcement for the various statutes on THAT TOPIC.

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.

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!!

Only if the Constitution granted that authority to the fed.

Which it obviously did at the Convention back in the day when Article VI was penned.

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?

Redundant and absurd questions which have not a damn thing to do with the instigating absurdity!

 

[Crepitus]

Why are republicans opposed to HR1?

It's seems to me there is nothing but good in this bill. Someone please explain why the republicans hate it.

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.

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.

Twenty Republican Attorneys General Argue HR1 Is Unconstitutional - Tennessee Star

Twenty Republican attorneys general argue that HR1, the “For the People Act,” which passed the U.S. House late in the night on Wednesday, is unconstitutional.

Sorry kid, but that's just not true.

That does not apply to the choosing of ELECTORS. It applies to electing US Senators and Representatives only.

Take a reading comprehension course at your local trade school...or purchase a copy of Reading Comprehension for Dummies.

So you're suggesting there are different standards? That's gonna be tough since they are held at the same time in the same place by the same people. Elections are elections. No where is it suggested there are different standards for any.

[asaratis]

No where is it suggested there are different standards for any.

Nowhere does the constitution require that all state election laws are the same.

The legislatures of EACH STATE have the right to legislate their state's election rules so long as none are unconstitutional. They do not have to be identical.

The US congress does NOT have the right to dictate any changes that are unconstitutional. The enabling of voting by non-citizens and the preventing of states to purge their registration rolls of dead people and people that have moved out of precinct is unconstitutional. Both of these are included in HR1.
