DailyKenn.com — HR 1 is that monstrous legislation meant to move the goal posts of American elections to favor Democrats. It is titled 'For the People Act' in keeping with the far-lefts propensity for mislabeling most everything.

If the bill becomes law, it will fundamentally change our republican form of democracy. The bill, for example, will allow public funds (that, taxpayer's money) to underwrite congressional political campaign. Given the far-left's perception of equity, that will likely become a fund for non-white congressional candidates.
And that's just one major glitch.
Given the Democrats' iron-clad grasp on both houses of congress, the legislation will likely be signed into law. Only the Supreme Court potentially stands in its way, it seems.
Why is HR 1 so toxic? Hans von Spakovsky laid out eight reasons at dailysignal.com ▼
1) It would eviscerate state voter ID laws that require a voter to authenticate his or her identity.
2) It would make absentee ballots even more insecure than they already are.
3) It would worsen the problem of inaccurate registration rolls, which are full of people who have died, moved away, are ineligible felons or noncitizens, or are registered more than once.
4) It would take away your ability to decide whether you want to register to vote.
5) It would force states to allow online registration, opening up the voter registration system to massive fraud by hackers and cybercriminals.
6) It imposes onerous new regulatory restrictions on political speech and activity, including online and policy-related speech, by candidates, citizens, civic groups, unions, corporations, and nonprofit organizations.
7) It would authorize the IRS to investigate and consider the political and policy positions of nonprofit organizations when they apply for tax-exempt status.
8) It would set up a public funding program for candidates running for Congress.
