Yeah, it is getting harder and harder to find non paywall or account news sources. This trend for increased revenue by the news outlets is only going to lead to further isolation and increases echo chambers. Quite a few of the news sources I used to read for balance i no longer can because they want me to create an account or pay a monthly fee. I guess ad revenue isn’t enough anymore. It is sad what has happened to the media in this country.

Here is a summation of the bill from a less egregious site than Epochtimes
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-...s/house-bill/1

First thing I see is that it requires President/Vice President candidates to disclose 10 years of tax returns, at least its finally in writing. I see ethics & finance discussed that's sorely needed as is election security. "independent redistricting commissions" heaven forbid the existing shysters don't get to redraw the congressional lines the way they want.

And nothing" to make sure that no Republican is elected anywhere, any office, any time in the future, period" as the OP stated unless their saying that a Republican can not win when the election process is fair and open to everyone who is eligible..

The FED has NO Constitutional authority to set election rules, laws, or procedures; NONE!

That this is even being considered is preposterous!

So how does this work? Does the SCOTUS allow the Dems to legislate into law an unconstitutional power-grab, wait until someone of standing sues, and then it works its way up the court system? (As for standing, I would think that any of the Republican states would want to sue.)

Nope. They’re saying that Democrats can’t win without massive ballot harvesting.

You need to balance the ease of voting with the need to maintain election integrity. There’s a good reason that absentee balloting has been permitted only with valid reasons.

Rat bastard Democrats want to CONTINUE cheating; no way, dirtbags!!!

Yep. Exactly. If the US Congress wants to change federal election voting laws and procedures, they'll have to Amend the US Constitution to do so.

How in the hell do the idiots not know this?

SCOTUS....where are you?
Sadly, SCOTUS seems to be MIA.

Correct. Look at the previous times voting rules have been changed by the Fed Gov:

15th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.


19th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.


If the Fed Gov wants to change voting laws, procedures, or rules, they'll have to Amend the US Constitution to do so.

Given their recent behavior, SCOTUS will likely claim no one has standing. /smh
