Blue State Blues: Dirty Tricks Become Federal Law if Democrats Win Georgia

The Georgia Senate runoffs on January 5 will determine the fate of the country. If Democrats win both races, they will take control of the Senate and enact their radical agenda.

On the top of that list — literally, the first item — is H.R. 1, the voting “reform” legislation passed by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as the first order of business last year. Every single Democrat voted for it. It has been blocked by the Republican Senate, but will certainly pass if Democrats win Georgia.

H.R. 1 is called the “For the People Act,” and like many bills in Congress, it will do the opposite of what its title suggests, destroying democratic elections in this country.

As the Heritage Foundation noted in a report on the bill, H.R. 1 would force states to accept same-day registration and universal vote-by-mail; require states to allow convicted felons to vote; and allow voters to circumvent photo ID requirements in states that have them by signing sworn statements instead of providing ID.

Notably, H.R. 1 would also make signature-matching more difficult for absentee ballots. That is one of the key issues in Georgia, where the state legislature made it more difficult to reject absentee ballots due to signature mismatches, and a subsequent consent decree between Democrat pressure groups and Republican state officials made signature-matching virtually impossible.

Passing H.R. 1 would take the flaws in the Georgia presidential vote and make them federal law.
