Democrat’s Partisan Power Grab
< < Go Back
On Thursday, the House held a hearing on the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (it was introduced as H.R. 4 in the last session of Congress). This bill is a partisan power grab by Nancy Pelosi to give unelected federal employees veto power over state election laws.
The Left hates voter protections like voter ID, which are wildly popular with voters ( 75% support voter ID). They can’t defeat these policies democratically, so they’re trying to give veto power to Biden’s appointees.
Democrats are selling this power grab as being necessary to stop discriminatory voter laws—this is a ruse. Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act already makes it illegal to deny or abridge the right to vote on account of race or color.
H.R. 4 can be seen as an extension of the #CorruptPoliticiansAct. You can read more about the latest edition of Democrats grasping for power in our blog post.
