H.R. 1 Is a Threat to American Democracy. Period.
National Interest ^ | 3/10/2021 | Hans von Spakovsky

Posted on 03/10/2021 10:41:41 AM PST by Onthebrink

H.R. 1 would mandate same-day and automatic voter registration, and encourage vote trafficking of absentee ballots. It would eviscerate state voter ID laws and limit the ability of states to verify the accuracy of their voter registration lists. This would institutionalize the worst changes in election rules that occurred during the 2020 election. But H.R. 1 would go even further in increasing the security weaknesses inherent in the current “honor” voter registration and voting system that exists in states across the country.

Anyone who doubts that fraud occurs is living in a dreamland. When the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s new voter ID law in 2008, it noted that America has a long history of election fraud documented by journalists and historians—and that fraudulent voting could make the difference in a close election. After all, we frequently have close elections.

HR.1 is a threat to the Republic.
It is seems perfectly adequate for Mob Rule (democracy).

The stolen election was the threat.
HR1 is the follow through.

The RATs certainly have no lack of hubris. They steal an election and then move to seal the steal forever. No wonder DC is an armed camp. They know they are doing something that is going to make Americans truly angry.

If ever there was a time to use Article V this is it.

Democrats should be chased from the public square for proposing this illegality.

No. It’s a threat to our republic. We’re not a democracy.

HR 1 institutionalizes all of the fraud they used to steal the 2020 election.

Both parties abrogated the Constitution on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when they swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.
Whatever we have now is not the Republic we had.

Anyone who votes for this should be tried for treason and removed from office.

It is indeed a threat to the republic. Unfortunately, my representative is one of the co-sponsors.

A Democratic Chicago resident might vote in Wisconsin at 9am, Chicago at 11am, in Gary at 1 pm and in Michigan at 3pm.

Will there be any reimbursement for gas?

Anyone supporting HR1 is supporting Electoral Fraud and insurrection.

Exactly right.
(I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals. …

— Woodrow Wilson
If this is how “American democracy” is defined (and it appears to have been defined that way for decades), then HR1 bolsters it rather than threatens. I want to see a threat to it and a restoration of the Republic.

What do you mean by “Threat”?

The “Theat” is over. Freedom is already gone.

HR1 is the entrenchment of Tyranny.

I predict a tree watering in the next few years if they try a gun grab.

I am not concerned about future pervasive and protected cheating. I am concerned about today’s pervasive and protected cheating!? That alone renders elections invalid by awarding cheaters.

"Anyone who votes for this should be tried for treason and removed from office hanged."

Fixed it for you.

So true. We the People overwhelmingly reelected President Trump, yet he isn't president. It is time for peaceful revolution. Article V!
