It's interesting to see all the people complaining about federal election takeover when these bills include things such as: requirement for independent redistricting so no more gerrymandering, prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, improved election security, and better outlined...

penalties for those who try to subvert peoples right and ability to vote whether or not a minority. Though the calls of this being federal election takeover is not much different than the same thing being said back when passage of the original VRA was going through the senate. It also does not...

change the DOJ's current role when it comes to elections due to preclearance. But hey its like we are in the 1960s again and the right to vote and ones ability to is for some reason dangerous because there is power in minority numbers.

I agree. Voter ID, and no mail in ballots.

To my knowledge (even though many vote-fraud accusations haven't been verified), there are far more verified cases of vote fraud than verified cases of legally entitled voters denied their right to vote. I have no doubt that such cases would be broadly publicized if they existed.

To an extent there are cases that are showcase creation of difficulty in voting such as closing of polling centers in minority areas, creating very nuanced things that make it harder to vote by mail or absentee without telling the public and other things that are minor but not at the same time

Quit calling it "voting rights" it is a democrat fraud easing scheme. It makes cheating easier. Something democrats tend to cheer.

we do not need federal election laws, especially this one proposed. we need total voter id laws and minimal abstentee balllots that are verified well in advance of elections

Voting is left up to our states. Don't allow the federal government to change laws and take control. Why? Have you seen what happens when the government is left in control of something? Everything tends to mess up. Examples include public education, mail services, etc.

States are in charge of our voting rights, this allows us to regulate and make sure there is election integrity. These Federal rules take that accountability away. CoMo got $647,000 CTCL money, we wouldn’t know how much 2020 fraud went on in Boone county if it weren’t state-county local. Vote no!!

The Constitution gives the states the right to control the voting process. The democrats do not believe in the constitution. The United States, under its Constitution, is a federal, representative, democratic republic, an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States. Biden is trying to subvert the Law.

To JH, Yes your statement is true, but it requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Good luck with that. What Biden is doing is called senseless Grandstanding.

Mr. DeYoung You are right to an extent but also wrong, Article 1 section 4 states, The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations

To make that easier to understand, the Biden administration, is crooked to the bone, and communist in nature.

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

Trump had just refilled it, after Obama drained it down to nothing.

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!
