‘Absolute power grab’: Dems’ election overhaul extends far beyond ballot box
(Worthy News) – Democrats are championing their massive election overhaul as a voting rights bill, but their proposal reaches far beyond the ballot box, with dictates on how candidates may run for office and restrictions on how states can challenge the sweeping regulations in court.
At least six sections in the more than 800-page bill potentially run afoul of the Constitution, legal scholars say, including requirements that states offer automatic and same-day voter registration, rules on the expansion of mail-in voting and provisions for creating commissions charged with redrawing congressional districts. The bill also calls for an ethics code for the Supreme Court and mandates that presidential candidates disclose their tax returns.
The bill, which is titled the For the People Act, takes the unusual step of mandating a singular process for challenging the proposed laws. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
