Henry Johnson
The Public Record
Let me be clear. Republicans want every legally cast ballot to count, but the only way to give legal votes the weight they deserve is to close the door to fraud and illegally cast ballots.
This bill seeks to lower the triggering mechanism, which subjects jurisdictions to preapproval from the Department of Justice.
Unfortunately, just like H.R. 1, the misleadingly named For the People Act, H.R. 4 seeks to federalize elections.
Our Constitution and our institutions will endure, but only if we support and defend them.
This is about Federal control, a Federal takeover of an area that has always been within the jurisdiction of the States.
This legislation is just another example of a politically motivated power grab to enable partisan Federal bureaucrats to control our State election laws.
The bottom line is, Republicans want every legal vote to count, want to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat.
The chaos that ensued as a result of the 2020 election was occasioned because of all those irregularities.
Isn't it true that States are still best situated to enact changes in election law?
