The act was passed in the House last Wednesday night. Every single Republican voted against it along with one single Democrat, Bennie Thompson of Mississippi.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the the bill\u2019s passage in the House, former Vice President Mike Pence had published an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2021\/03\/03\/election-integrity-is-a-national-imperative\/\">op-ed for the Heritage Foundation<\/a> in which he noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The bill would force states to adopt universal mail-in ballots, early voting, same-day voter registration, online voter registration, and automatic voter registration for any individual listed in state and federal government databases, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles and welfare offices, ensuring duplicate registrations and that millions of illegal immigrants are quickly registered to vote.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2021\/02\/02\/9-election-reforms-states-can-implement-to-prevent-mistakes-and-vote-fraud\/\">States would be required<\/a>&nbsp;to count every mail-in vote that arrives up to 10 days after Election Day. States must also allow ballot harvesting\u2014where paid political operatives collect absentee ballots from places such as nursing homes\u2014exposing our most vulnerable voters to coercion and increasing the risk that their ballots will be tampered with.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At the same time, state and local election officials would be stripped of their ability to maintain the accuracy of voter rolls, barred from verifying voter eligibility, and voter ID would be banned from coast to coast.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Congressional districts would be redrawn by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. Illegal immigrants and law-abiding American citizens would receive equal representation in Congress. Felons would be able to vote the moment they set foot out of prison.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Leftists not only want you powerless at the ballot box, they want to silence and censor anyone who would dare to criticize their unconstitutional power grab.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>National Review\u2019s editors echoed many of Pence\u2019s concerns, writing on Monday:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>It would be an understatement to describe H.R. 1 as a radical assault on American democracy, federalism, and free speech. It is actually&nbsp;several&nbsp;radical left-wing wish lists stuffed into a single 791-page sausage casing. \u2026 The first target is to wipe out state laws that allow voters to be checked against a preexisting list of registrations. H.R. 1 mandates that states provide same-day registration&nbsp;and&nbsp;allow people to change their name and address on the rolls at the polling place on Election Day, then forbids states from treating their votes as provisional ballots that can be checked later. It mandates online registration without adequate safeguards against hackers. It mandates automated registration of people who apply for unemployment, Medicaid, Obamacare, and college, or who are coming out of prison. The bill\u2019s authors&nbsp;expect&nbsp;this to register noncitizens: They create a safe harbor against prosecution of noncitizens who report that they have been erroneously registered.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>H.R. 1 bars states from checking with other states for duplicate registrations within six months of an election. It bars removing former voters from the rolls for failure to vote or to respond to mailings. \u2026 H.R. 1 bars anyone but an election official from challenging a voter\u2019s eligibility to vote on Election Day \u2014 thus insulating Democrat-run precincts from scrutiny.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>State voter-ID laws are banned, replaced simply by a sworn voter statement. The dramatic expansion of mail-in voting during the COVID pandemic is enshrined permanently in federal law. States are banned from the most elementary security methods for mail-in ballots: They must provide a ballot to everyone without asking for identification and may not require notarization or a witness to signatures. States are compelled to permit ballot harvesting so long as the harvesters are not paid per ballot. Curbside voting, ballot drop boxes, and 15 days of early voting are mandated nationwide, and the bill micromanages the location and hours of polling stations, early voting locations, and drop boxes. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The editorial sums up this \u201cassault on American democracy\u201d by declaring that \u201cnot since the Alien and Sedition Acts has one political party in Congress sought to bend the power of the federal government, on partisan lines, toward crushing political opposition to this extent. H.R. 1 is not merely a bad idea; it is a scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
