Pelosi sneaks through bill that would give feds “oversight” of state elections

The tragic mishandling of the situation in Afghanistan has, ironically enough, given D.C. politicians plenty of cover to sneak through other measures that would be opposed by a majority of Americans. One of those was passed by the Democrat-controlled House last week.

The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (which is dead) would have given Joe Biden’s Justice Department the ability to police new changes to voting laws in states that have racked up a series of “violations,” drawing them into a mandatory review process known as “preclearance.”

In other words, states would be unable to pass election integrity laws without getting the say-so of deep state operatives in D.C.

This measure, combined with a second nbill Mark Meckler has called the Death of Democracy Act, would give the federal government total and absolute control over virtually every election in our country.

The Death of Democracy Act mandates universal mail-in balloting and ID-less voting, and the John Lewis amendment prohibited states from instituting security measures without getting approval from politicians like Pelosi.

ANALYSIS. The federal government will use any excuse to increase their power. About the same percentage of black Americans as white Americans vote in presidential elections, and black Americans vote at higher rates than any other minority group. And yet, big-government politicians in D.C. cry “voter suppression” and use that lie as an excuse to grab more power for themselves.

An Article V Convention of States can end that power-grab once and for all. A Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments that limit the power, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government.

What does this mean? It means that the states can propose amendments that put real, permanent limitations on federal power. In our federalist system, the states are supposed to control the election process. Amendments can be proposed that clarify that truth and explicitly prohibit Washington from passing laws that infringe upon that right.

If we want to ensure that We the People stay in control of our elections, we must shrink federal power.
