HR 1 “For the People Act” simplified! This summary does not list every single change in the election laws [800 pgs].

HR 1 “For the People Act” cuts State Voter ID, you just sign that you are the voter. And the election officials must Not question the legality. If they do, they can be subject to prosecution. This would allow people to walk into multiple counties/states and vote multiple times.

Anyone wanting to be put on a permanent absentee ballot system just has to request it ONCE and it will be sent with every election. Maybe you have moved and someone else collects it and votes. There’s the possibility of millions of ballots being mailed to wrong residences…and those ballots could fall into the hands of people who have already voted!

It requires States to put people in automatic voter registration, so every state agency you deal with or have an interaction with, i.e., DMV or university, has to register you to vote without asking you. This will lead to multiple registrations of the same person in different states. Non-citizens will be eligible to vote. Right now, some states allow it but only those who have data with the State. All this opens up for voter fraud. There will be mail-in voting for 10 days. This ballot rule allows people to vote outside their precinct. In addition, they want to register 16-year-old adolescents.

The provision called “Stand by Every Ad Act” would stop campaign dollars from covering any form of advertising over the Internet.

Article 2 Section 1 says States decide their Election Laws. HR 1 nullifies that! The Election Laws are Nationalized…

What could go wrong?
