S.1 Would Create a Stunning One-Party Takeover of Voting Laws and Elections in Our Country
Fairfax, Va. – The Senate Rules Committee today is considering amendments to S.1, the For the People Act, a massive voting and elections bill that would rewrite the rules of American politics to exclusively benefit one political party, the Democrats. Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning issued the following statement urging Senators to reject this attempt at one-party takeover of our country:
“Americans for Limited Government strongly opposes this attempt to federalize elections by threatening the one-person-one-vote principle, making ballot security a thing of the past and increasing political intimidation aimed at donors. This flies in the face of the seminal Supreme Court ruling Alabama v. NAACP protecting donor anonymity.
“S.1 would require states to automatically register residents to vote at Departments of Motor Vehicles, turn the Federal Election Commission into a partisan entity controlled by the White House incumbent party, create federal regulation of Congressional redistricting, require the use of absentee ballot drop boxes, eliminate state restrictions on mail-in voting, require same-day voter registration and gut state voter identification laws. These so-called reforms are designed by partisans to give Democrats’ an advantage in federal elections and to cement one-party rule in Washington, D.C. It should be soundly defeated.”
