Key Takeaways
1. The right to vote is one of the most sacred rights that we as free citizens can exercise. Far too many Americans have lost trust in the fairness of our elections.
2. HR 1 would create a federal takeover of elections and force changes to election laws that would actually allow for greater fraud and election tampering.
3. HR 1 isn’t for the people; it’s about creating more power for the politicians.
The right to vote is one of the most sacred rights that we as free citizens can exercise.
Yet today, far too many Americans have lost trust in the fairness of our elections.
That’s why we’ve made a commitment at The Heritage Foundation to work with state lawmakers across the country to make needed reforms and restore integrity to our elections.
Yet, amazingly, some of those commonsense laws have come under attack from the left and a biased news media.
VIDEO: Setting the Record Straight About Race and Election Reform
The falsehoods and outright lies are appalling.
Growing up as a black teenager during the 1960s, I knew the tremendous sacrifices and dangers that my friends and relatives endured to secure the right to vote for black Americans.
So, let me be clear: I have zero interest in disenfranchising or suppressing the vote of any portion of the population.
But that’s not what’s happening in Georgia or other states pursuing election reforms. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
The left’s lies are a scare tactic. They are an attempt to rally support for a bill currently in Congress, ironically called the “For the People Act,” or HR 1, which would only make things worse.
HR 1 would create a federal takeover of elections and force changes to election laws that would actually allow for greater fraud and election tampering.
It would allow illegal votes to cancel out legal ones. It would diminish the very voting rights that my relatives in the 1960s, the women suffragists of the early 1900s, and all the men and women of the armed forces throughout our history fought so hard to gain and protect.
HR 1’s proposed changes to election laws do exactly the opposite of creating trust.
Under HR 1, no one has to prove they are who they say they are in order to vote. It automatically adds noncitizens to voter registration rolls and outlaws safeguards that prevent people from voting twice.
And that’s just scratching the surface of this terrible law.
HR 1 isn’t for the people; it’s about creating more power for the politicians.
You can learn more about the problems with HR 1 at Heritage.org.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our republic, and every citizen, no matter their political persuasion, must be able to trust the voting process and its results.
The very future of our nation depends on it.

Then act like it is! Require photo ID. Show up in person to vote. Be proud to cast your vote. Don’t do it while hiding. Don’t allow radical racists (Stacy Abrams) to hold sway on how voting is done. Act like it means something.
Thank you for speaking out. At first I was upset by all the ridiculous money spending, border opening, etc. being done by the Biden administration. When HR1 came along, I realized that our country can overcome all of the above but it will never overcome changing our federal election laws as desired by HR1. It is my understanding that states that do not comply with federal law concerning elections can actually lose legislative seats.

YOU can vote commies in but YOU CAN'T VOTE THEM OUT.
Getting rid of commies takes years, poverty, misery, lives, and war .
NEVER MAKE THE MISTAKE OF ALLOWING COMMIES TO TAKE OVER. EVERY PROMISE THEY MAKE IS A LIE.
COMMIES SHOOT PEOPLE TRYING TO ESCAPE THEIR HELLHOLES.
