resident Joe Biden on Sunday signed an executive order aimed at expanding voting rights. It's the Biden administration's latest move to expand voting rights as they push the Senate to pass H.R. 1, the House Democrats' bill to radically transform America's election system, including prohibiting voter ID laws and mandating taxpayers fund political campaigns.
"It is the policy of my Administration to promote and defend the right to vote for all Americans who are legally entitled to participate in elections," the executive order stated. "It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to expand access to, and education about, voter registration and election information, and to combat misinformation, in order to enable all eligible Americans to participate in our democracy."
Agency heads will be required to post "relevant information" – like how to vote-by-mail and vote in an upcoming election – on websites and social media platforms. Those who visit vote.gov will be directed to the appropriate state website that provides greater details on how to vote in that individual state.
Election officials are encouraged to distribute voter registration and voting-by-mail applications and help voters fill out those applications if need be. The executive order also instructs election officials to "solicit and facilitiat[e] approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations and State officials to provide voter registration services on agency premises."
Federal prisoners who are currently incarcerated with be educated on their voting rights, including whether or not they will be restored once their sentence is completed. Those who are eligible to vote will be registered to do so.
The executive order also establishes an "Interagency Steering Group on Native American Voting Rights" aimed at "protecting voting rights of Native Americans." The committee will include the attorney general, interior secretary, agriculture secretary, labor secretary, health and human services secretary and the VA secretary. Other agencies can be invited as needed. The steering committee's ultimate goal is to increase voter education, registration and turnout in the Native American communities.
Even though Biden wants the Senate to move forward with H.R. 1, a senior White House official told Fox News that the president's executive order can "stem that tide" of "state voter suppressive action.
"When I say that the president urges Congress to take action that would prevent states from attempts at voter suppression, that applies to all states, and it applies to making sure that the federal government and private litigants have the tools necessary to prevent restrictive voting action," the official said.
Republicans have opposed H.R. 1 because of the lack of voting protections, including requiring an ID to vote, and allowing convicted felons to vote once their sentence is completed. Other areas of concern include expanding early voting and voting by mail, something the GOP sees as a hotbed for voter fraud.
may as well buy a couple of 800 numbers and turn the election into an episode of the X factor.
Why don’t we allow everybody in the EU vote? How about Canada, since that’s where Dominion is located? And you can’t forget Russia, Russia, Russia!! That would make me feel SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good. ./s
In January 2007, at age 55, she received a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in educational leadership from the University of Delaware.
It’s a threat to every state, even though most still don’t have RCV.
All that Deep State needs is the RCV enabled software on voting machines.
There. I fixed it.
Voter access like we are trying to prevent people from voting, more like voter theft
Rush predicted this. The dims don’t want to bother with those pesky elections, so this insures that they will win every election going forward. They don’t even have to campaign. (Biden 2020). The only thing that will stop this is Republican state lawmakers that will work to put in place safeguards against this kind of theft. And we have to vote out judges and Rino’s who aided and abetted this theft.
Otherwise, we will become Venezuela Norte. Quickly.
We met one night a week, Thursday night, for two hours. We heard a presentation from different folks, usually representing wine retailers. The remaining time was spent tasting 4-6 different wines.
It was a great learning experience. The only reason I got an A in that class was from the extra credit I received for doing a presentation on German wine (I lived in a Mosel River town for 4 years when I was in the Army).
The tests were not easy: you had to associate the primary varietal of a particular wine region, such as Riesling with Alsace-Lorraine. And all of the different French regions? Who boy, you better not mess up your B's like I did...lol.
Community colleges are perfect for most kids coming out of HS. Less pressure, less cost.
You're preaching to the choir. I got my A.A. degree and transferred the credits to a University. Saved tons of money, and my B.A. is just as good as someone who went there 4 years.
My daughter used her G.I. Bill to get two Associates degrees, one in Biology and the other in Paramedical Science. Then, while working as a Paramedic, she transferred the credits to getting her B.S.N.
Let me guess. Mail-in votes, without that racist signature verification requirement, or that racist address verification requirement, or voter roll checking requirement. Vote early and often.
I remember in the Pogo comic strip a cheating contest between the alligator and the porcupine(?) with Pogo as the judge. After the contest was finished, they demanded a verdict from Pogo, and both of them assaulted him to force him to declare them the winner. Closing scene was Pogo running for his life.
That’s not voting
Candidates listed with a box next to their name, check the box of the one you are voting for.
That’s voting
That ranking system should be done in primaries.
FwIW, I don’t think it should be done.
Period.
Run offs, yes.
RCV...
Never.
Election thief trying to institutionalize election theft.
Democrats have embraced the old dictum that “If ya ain’t cheatin’, ya ain’t tryin’.”
In other words kill the Electoral College
Up until now the SC has been unwilling to touch any election law issue. So if the rats pull off getting a simple majority vote in the Senate for HR 1 the rats will never lose another election. It will be over.
