What To Know: Democrats are looking for a way to revive the “For the People Act,” a bill killed by the Senate that would have amounted to a federal takeover of elections.

The TPPF Take: This bill was designed to destroy voter protections nationwide and federalize local and state elections, making them more vulnerable to fraud.

“The U.S. Constitution empowers state legislatures to organize elections to meet local conditions,” says TPPF’s Chuck DeVore. “This bill would have bulldozed state control over election rules by imposing California-style election standards on the entire nation—if by standards one means no standards at all. Its defeat is a victory for fair and honest elections.”
