The House speaker has no qualms about trashing the Constitution to kneecap her Republican opponents. Her bill HR 1, which will be voted on this week, would rig the electoral\u00a0system to favor Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>HR 1 is being sold as a reform to make voting easier. In truth, it makes <em>cheating <\/em>easier. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and imposes a set of national rules. For starters, it bans state voter-ID requirements. Anyone can show up on Election Day to vote, registered or not, and simply sign a statement claiming to be a legal voter. <\/p>\n<p>It also compels states to send out absentee or mail-in ballots universally and to count ballots that arrive by mail as late as 10 days after the election. Say goodbye to Election Night finality. The chaos of election 2020 will become the norm.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi\u2019s bill also legalizes ballot-harvesting, a practice many states are struggling to <em>stop<\/em>.\u00a0Political organizations and advocacy groups send in workers to walk through neighborhoods, knock on doors and offer to help residents return the ballots they\u2019ve received in the mail. It\u2019s a recipe for fraud, since these harvesters are invariably trying to get a particular candidate elected.<\/p>\n<p>Another rule broadens automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lies for food stamps, Medicaid or other <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. <\/p>\n<p>Noncitizens are obligated to opt out, but there are no criminal penalties if they don\u2019t. From California to New York, Democrats have tried but failed to get laws changed to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. This bill will allow it to happen de facto in all elections.<\/p>\n<p>All this interference with state election safeguards is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>The Founders worried that legislators in Congress would seize control of presidential selection using methods like those in HR 1. That\u2019s why they acted to \u201cto take the business as far as possible out of their hands,\u201d as one Founder, Charles Pinckney, put it. <\/p>\n<p>Congress, said Pinckney, \u201chad no right to meddle\u201d in it. As legal scholar David Rivkin argues, the Founders provided in Article II of the Constitution that state legislatures would decide how the president is chosen. Not Congress.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>HR 1 also asserts Congress has the authority to make the District of Columbia into a state. That would hand Democrats two more Senate seats. Voter registration in DC is 76 percent Democratic and only 6 percent Republican.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, Madam Speaker, but only a constitutional amendment can change the status or parameters of the District.<\/p>\n<p>HR 1 also would expose supporters of conservative causes to disclosure and harassment. In 2013, former President Barack Obama\u2019s Internal Revenue Service tried to strong-arm tax-exempt Tea Party organizations into disclosing their donors. Pelosi\u2019s bill would give that thuggish tactic the force of law, requiring organizations to reveal their donors and subjecting them to the left\u2019s cancel-culture tactics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi\u2019s bill will glide through the House, where Democrats have a majority. President Biden has promised to sign it.<\/p>\n<p>The bill\u2019s fate hinges on the Senate. Under Senate rules, 60 votes are needed to enact the bill. Democrats don\u2019t have them yet. It\u2019s up to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to hold the line. He\u2019s called the bill \u201cthe Democratic Politician Protection Act\u201d and a naked attempt to change the election rules to benefit one party.<\/p>\n<p>This shameful bill is what you\u2019d expect from Pelosi. But the Senate needs to show more scruples. Honest, competitive elections are the foundation of our freedom. A large majority of Republican voters already distrust the electoral system and feel cheated. Enacting this bill is a declaration of war against them and will shatter whatever good will remains in this country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Betsy McCaughey is a former lieutenant governor of New York.<\/em>\n            <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
