The right to vote was a sacred thing, an important part of our democracy.\u201dThen Jeffries implied that Republican efforts stemmed from racist reaction to the election of Barack Obama, fulminating that the GOP efforts were part of a \u201cvoter suppression epidemic,\u201d saying, \u201cEvery time the Voting Rights Act was reauthorized and signed back into law, it happened four times after 1965, it was signed into law by a Republican president; Richard Nixon, 1970, 1975, Gerald Ford, 1982, Ronald Reagan, 2006, George W. Bush. So what happened? Many of us believe the election of Barack Obama in 2008 began to change the perspective of some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle when they saw what was possible with America changing. And all of a sudden, the bipartisan nature of the right to vote dissipated and the voter suppression epidemic began. So this is a constitutional crisis.\u201dWhile Jeffries attacked Republicans\u2019 efforts and calls them a \u201cconstitutional crisis,\u201d his own party, led by President Biden, was pushing the so-called \u201cFor the People Act,\u201d also known as H.R. 1. In March, the editors of National Review issued a scathing editorial in which they elucidated the goals of the Democratic Party as delineated in H.R. 1., which had been passed in the House.Prior to the bill\u2019s passage in the House, former Vice President Mike Pence had published an op-ed for the Heritage Foundation in which he noted: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.States would be required 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.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.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.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.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
