Can Manchin Be Trusted on Voter Integrity? How are the voters expected to tell?

By David Catron June 7, 2021

A lot of Republicans breathed a sigh of relief when Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) reiterated his support for the filibuster and pledged to vote against the For the People Act (S 1). His decision, which he explained in a Sunday op-ed written for the Charleston Gazette-Mail, is certainly good news. But, before celebrating the death of the pernicious “voting rights” bill, it would be useful to read paragraph 12 of Manchin’s column, wherein he declares his support for the equally dangerous John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (S 4263). This bill, like S 1, would effectively gut voter-ID laws and usurp state sovereignty over elections.

In his op-ed, Manchin makes the following claim about S 4263:

“The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would update the formula states and localities must use to ensure proposed voting laws do not restrict the rights of any particular group or population.” 

The senator fails to mention that it would also exhume an obsolete section of the Civil Rights Act (CRA) that violated a key principle of federalism and was declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in Shelby County v. Holder. Hans A. von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation explains why the Democrats so desperately want to reinstate this provision of the CRA:............

Not for the first time, Sen. Manchin is attempting to have it both ways...........He knows West Virginia voters won’t forgive him if he flip-flops on the filibuster, and he knows S 1 won’t pass as long as that parliamentary device remains in place. The Democratic push for “democracy reform” presents Manchin with an opportunity to continue his bipartisan masquerade.............Manchin supports imposing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act on every state in the union........To Read More....

Joel B. Pollak 4 Mar 2021

House Democrats passed H.R. 1, the so-called “For the People Act,” on Wednesday. The bill would radically change American democracy, nationalizing elections and making permanent changes to voting rules that would virtually ensure Democrats never lose another election.

The bill is 791 pages long — a massive piece of legislation, adopted with little examination or debate. Some provisions — like expanding access for voters with disabilities, improving election security, and ensuring that all voting machines use in U.S. elections are also manufactured in the U.S. — are uncontroversial. Others are potentially explosive.

Here are 37 key points:

Shocking U.S. bill would allow Dems 'to steal elections forever'

Famous Republican has a stunning, two-word warning: 'We're finished'

By WND Staff  January 25, 2021

 

The first bill of 2021 introduced by House Democrats would codify and expand many of the measures blamed for election fraud in the 2020 election.  H.R. 1, the For the People Act, among other things, would establish nationwide mail-in voting, eliminate restrictions on ballot harvesting and ban voter ID, noted the Gateway Pundit's Joe Hoft, citing the Populist Press blog.

After analyzing the proposal, the Gateway Pundit summarized the legislation in its headline "The Democrats' First Bill of 2021 Is to Lock In Fraudulent Election Maneuvers and Steal Elections in Perpetuity."..........

Among its features, the bill:

• Bans the requirement to provide a full Social Security number for voter registration.
• Creates a nationwide "Motor Voter" registration, automatically registering people who obtain a driver's license, which is how thousands of illegal became registered voters in California and Nevada.
• Establishes nationwide same-day registration.
• Prohibits the type of work done by Judicial Watch to clean voter rolls of non-residents.
• Mandates early voting.
• Creates nationwide vote-by-mail and legalized ballot harvesting
• Bans a personal identification requirement as a condition of obtaining a ballot
• Prohibits requiring notarization or a witness signature to obtain or cast an absentee ballot.
• Permits a voter to designate any person to deliver an absentee ballot and puts no limit on how many ballots a person may deliver.
• Lays the groundwork for D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood.
• Puts redistricting in the hands of Congress
