During a recent interview, McConnell said the bill is the left\u2019s attempt to take over American elections. He stated he took issue with several provisions he believes will increase the risk of voter fraud. This includes expanding vote-by-mail systems, rolling back voter I.D. laws and same day registration.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">House Democrats&#8217; H.R. 1 is a partisan assault on elections. It directly targets political speech and would centralize control of elections in all 50 states in Washington Democrats\u2019 hands.<\/p>\n<p>A dramatic one-party power grab over the way Americans vote. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ObjBkEnobS\">pic.twitter.com\/ObjBkEnobS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1370472642659106818?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 12, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McConnell added Democrat leaders will stop at nothing to pass the bill through Congress, including killing the filibuster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an opportunity for the Democrats to seize power in perpetuity,\u201d McConnell noted. \u201cAnd they don\u2019t wanna miss that chance. And it\u2019s gonna come down to whether or not we can defeat it in the Senate and whether or not Manchin and Sinema don\u2019t allow this to be decided by simply 51 votes but rather require 60.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In 2020, Senate Republicans led Congress to pass five historic bipartisan bills.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, the American people have been marching toward victory.

Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) to keep the filibuster. This is necessary so senators can pass an effective bipartisan voting rights bill, not just a Democrat wish list.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-scott-woke-white-supremacy-rooted-in-racism-discrimination\/\">Sen.
