Eric Adams May Well Force The Federalization Of Elections

There’s this: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof....” The Constitution, Article 1, Section 4. Hooray!

Then there’s this: “...but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.” The Constitution, Article 1, Section 4 continued. Oh.

Today Americans can feel relief and gladness. The Senate put to rest the “Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.” Much has been written regarding all the bad ideas contained in this bill; a recent example of one such essay is here. Some Democrats are already gearing up to continue the fight for its passage.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams may have just thrown those plans into disarray. In fact, though not the first location to allow noncitizens to participate in voting, his notoriety as the mayor of America’s largest city has brought the issue to the fore. Maryland, Vermont, and California all have jurisdictions in which some form of noncitizen voting is permitted. It’s being seriously considered in others. Mayor Adams recently approved it for NYC.

Now is the time for conservatives to take a good hard look at federalizing elections, from an America First perspective, and not with just a knee-jerk no reaction.

We are front and center stage of the biggest technological revolution this world has seen. Cyber-security has never been stronger, though our adversaries are constantly on the attack. Cloud computing provides nearly unlimited processing and storage of data. Only children, and not all of them, are without some form of plasticized, chipped, secured, or enhanced card or US passport.

Buying groceries during the pandemic, when nearly every place in town stopped taking cash, required a plastic credit, debit,

Or maybe they’ll just tar, feather the SOB and run him out of town. Wouldn’t that be a sight?

You know, I really wonder at times if Lincoln did the right thing by not banning the Democrap party after the Civil war.

[fruser1]

There’s nothing in the constitution that says congress can make an unconstitutional change.

The way to keep non citizens from voting is to have the feds sue the jurisdiction for violating the constitution.

“You know, I really wonder at times if Lincoln did the right thing by not banning the Democrap party after the Civil war.”

Wouldn’t have mattered. The people who crave ruling over others would have found another party to work from.

[Howie66]

When is the last time that the DemocRATs did something that fully complies with our Constitution?

I’ll wait.

[SMARTY]

I think that's called a plebiscite

[paulcissa]

The Balkanization of America continues unabated. We now return you to your original apathetic programming.

[bigfootbob]

Here’s a companion question, when was the first time they ever did something that fully complies with our Constitution?

Never, is the correct answer, Alex.

[D Rider]

If non citizen voting is allowed in certain precincts, can those votes be discarded for national voting tabulation purposes?

“Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.”

Horse hockey. Lewis wanted blacks to vote only for blacks. I heard him on local radio. There was no “freedom”.

[Skywise]

No NO NO...

Federalizing the elections is wrong from ANY political party or control.

Where you want to nip this in the bud is that it’s STILL ILLEGAL for these non-citizens to vote for President and states and cities MUST be held to that law or lose those presidential electors.

<>Abolish automatic voter registration, including motor-voter registration, when acquiring a driver’s license.<>

We can thank the several GOP senators who put the National Voter Registration Act (Motor Voter) over the top in 1993.

[ProgressingAmerica]

There's a fun bit of history behind that 1993 Motor Voter act. Look at this picture, it says it all.

You see who that is standing behind the President, the middle/late aged man and the woman in the green dress?

That's Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, of the Cloward Piven Strategy fame. Reality is often times stranger than fiction.

They knew what they were doing with that law.

Although I don’t think aliens voting is a good idea, the truth is that the NY electorate is so stupid that I don’t think aliens could make it worse. Maybe better in fact.

[pluvmantelo]

Wow! That is amazing. Thanks for the info.

[Jacquerie]

<>They knew what they were doing with that law.<>

They darn sure did. So did the pubbie senators that voted for it.

Now is the time for conservatives to take a good hard look at federalizing elections, from an America First perspective, and not with just a knee-jerk no reaction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess I’m just an old knee jerker because federalizing elections is just another rat scheme to steal elections.

Very few exceptions to the rule of not federalizing a damn thing.

To be fair, Lincoln did not live very long after the Civil War. And of course, according to the plaque on a college building in Illinois, Lincoln was a democrat.
