Now that the Build a Better America legislation has been put on the back burner due to lack of sufficient votes in the Senate, the Democrats are switching their focus to the "For the People Act." This legislation would federalize all elections and shift control of the processes of determining who is eligible to vote, getting them registered, collecting the ballots and counting them.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) complained that "the hodge-podge of different processes in each state needs to be replaced by a uniform approach. Republicans have always tried to restrict the right to vote by insisting on unnecessary qualifications like citizenship, residence in the state, registration prior to election day, photo or signature verification for each ballot cast, and a severely limited number of weeks in which ballots may be cast, collected, and counted. We need to loosen all these qualifications and limits."
"Since voting is a human right we need to make every effort to ensure that every human casts a ballot," Schumer demanded. "And like we do for those accused of a crime, if an individual cannot vote the government should be able to appoint someone to vote for him. Since an official election day may be inconvenient for many voters voting should be an any time, any place activity. Rather than allowing local government employees and volunteers to oversee the counting of ballots there ought to be a federal force of full-time professionals to handle everything everywhere."
President Biden cited his own success in the 2020 election as grounds for supporting the Act. "It was because of the extraordinary loosening of the rules due to the covid pandemic that I was able to amass the most votes for a president in our nation's history," he bragged. "We need to make this loosening and its expansion a permanent feature so the nation never again has to fear the victory of a monstrously unqualified candidate like Donald Trump. Federalizing the process will ensure this. As a great statesman once said 'what is extraordinarily important is who will count the votes, and how.' The 'For the People Act' will see that the right people will count the votes the right way."

I’m feeling like every action they take is a bridge too far. Like this next piece of legislation will be the death knell. That tells me that either a) it is, or b) we’re already gone.
HISTORY LESSON. Virginia has been a solid blue state for several years now, and one in which Joe Biden beat Donald Trump last year by twelve points. 2020 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe was expected to cruise to an easy victory over Republican Glenn Youngkin, but he didn’t. Youngkin won comfortably and shocked the country as a result.

THIS JUST IN Forget all that 2020 campaign chatter about Biden being a “transitional
president.” He intends to run....... and (gag) win........ a second term.
Mmmmmmmm......that should be a Fun Vote Show.
The Stupid Twins.....Sure Thing McAuliffe and Bidung The Elder......collaborating with winners like Spacey Abrams and 5% Harris..... will entertain us like back in the good ole days in Virginny. drJill will also entertain wearing her best “going to market” dress.
And don’t worry......if you can’t vote, Democrats will do it for you.
If the Democrats can’t wreck the economy, they’ll monkey around with democracy. We need to get them Rubic’s cubes, or some other means for them to harmlessly pass the time.
The Democrats greatest talent, besides lying, is to mislabel their bills like “For the People Act.” Affordable Care Act,
Build Back Better Act, Equality Act, and on and on and on.
Now their latest act of stupidity is: “The House passed legislation on Tuesday to create a special office within the State Department to combat Islamophobia globally as Democratic leaders sought to find a way to unify their party against anti-Muslim hatred”
Bill authored by: “Democratic leaders settled on a bill authored by Omar”
Omar, an icon of antisemitism.
Democrats want to set up a system so they can ALWAYS CHEAT.
DEMOCRATS LIE AND CHEAT, ITS WHAT THEY DO.
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT !!!
