Harvesting the 2020 Election

Mrs. Pelosi unveiled a 600-plus page bill devoted to “election reform.” Some of the legislation was aimed at weaponizing campaign-finance law, giving Democrats more power to control political speech and to intimidate opponents. But the bill was equally focused on empowering the federal government to dictate how states conduct elections—with new rules designed to water down ballot integrity and to corral huge new tranches of Democratic voters.

The bill would require states to offer early voting. They also would have to allow Election Day and online voter registration, diluting the accuracy of voting rolls. H.R. 1 would make states register voters automatically from government databases, including federal welfare recipients. Colleges and universities were designated as voter-registration hubs, and 16-year-olds would be registered to vote two years in advance. The bill would require “no fault” absentee ballots, allowing anyone to vote by mail, for any reason. It envisioned prepaid postage for federal absentee ballots. It would cripple most state voter-ID laws. It left in place the “ballot harvesting” rules that let paid activists canvass neighborhoods to hoover up absentee votes.

Democrats grandly named their bill the For The People Act, but conservatives had better titles. This page called it the “Majority Preservation Act,” while the editors at National Review described it as an “Unconstitutional, Authoritarian Power Grab.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell decried the bill as a “naked attempt to change the rules of American politics to benefit one party,” and dubbed it the “Democrat Politician Protection Act.”

Liberals are also interfering in the election lawsuits ... by attacking Trump’s attorneys. That is election interference and a violation of due process rights.

About as concise and focused as anything could be. Kudos! I take it that was your creation, Richard A. Bachert? I am not on FR nearly as much as I was in its first several years, but I do remember being mightily impressed by your posts and analyses.

You have stolen my analysis in every detail.GMTA. And I don’t think any of the double whammy of the initial coronavirus-lockdowns-then-re-opening, and then IMMEDIATELY the Saint George Floyd murder happening, to trigger, in the blink of an eye, “spontaneous” violent and destructive protests across the land was coincidental or “grass-roots”...all this destroying thousands of livelihoods , creating 2 billion dollars worth of property damage—huge numbers of people have not even been heard from as of yet, the dust is still very slowly settling around them. You can be sure nearly all of them voted for Trump, then had the final slap in the face of having their vote stolen from them too.It is hard to believe what has happened to this once hopeful land—we are at the mercy of an occupying army composed of the Governors, Mayors,Attorney Generals and thousands of other public official we’ve elected. The Enemy Within, in the classic sense.The Democratic Party is the Party of Terror, and they have no problem governing by fear. At any moment, BLM and antifa, their official brownshirts, could be sprung from their dark and dirty corners, to start it all over again.And it’s at that point that things will really get interesting.
