House Passes Liz Cheney’s Election Bill: Allows Voting Up to 5 Days After Election; Dems to Take Over


15,847 views

If you thought the 2020 election was a mess, wait until you find out what’s in the pipeline.

The House has just passed a new election bill backed by Liz Cheney.

This new bill is being called a “trojan horse,” as it allows voting up to 5 days after election day and allows Democrats to take over the ballot box.

The worst part?

It looks like this bill may actually pass the Senate!

There are enough Never Trump Republicans backing this bill, making it likely that this “trojan horse” will become law.

More details below:

Folks, Democrats have questioned every single election since Ronald Reagan.

In fact, they still believe that Stacy Abrams is the rightful governor of Georgia.

But… when we simply ask for transparency and forensic audits, *we’re* the conspiracy theorists?

The Federalist confirms the Democrat takeover of elections:

The House of Representatives passed legislation on Wednesday to overhaul the 1887 Electoral Count Act and re-write election rules to benefit Democrats in presidential contests.

The bill, proposed by GOP Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat from California who is under Cheney on the Jan. 6 Committee, reforms the 135-year-old law to narrow the grounds for objections to presidential electors and open the door to late-day voting.

Cheney’s “Presidential Election Reform Act” became the Democrats’ answer to their failed effort to override state election laws in H.R. 1, which Senate Republicans blocked last summer. The legislation carries some of the same provisions of the doomed election bill at the top of Democrats’ congressional agenda. Just nine Republicans supported the bill, all but one of whom supported President Donald Trump’s second impeachment and are either retiring or have lost their primaries.

New York Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney, who co-chairs the Election Integrity Caucus, condemned the bill as “the latest attempt from House Democrats to stack the democratic process in their favor” and complained that the proposal did not go through the proper legislative process. The text was only released days before the Wednesday vote and received no bipartisan hearing or markup in committee.

“It is nothing more than a partisan messaging bill intended to score cheap political points weeks before an election,” Tenney said in a press release outlining the legislation’s flaws.

“The bill broadly defines a ‘catastrophic event,’ which could be used to extend balloting for up to five days after the polls close in a presidential election,” Tenney said. “It also tramples on the core principle of state sovereignty and directly contradicts the United States Constitution. The legislation also creates broad private rights of action in a backdoor to empower Democrat election lawyers and partisan operatives.”

The congresswoman from central New York called on her colleagues to outlaw the private takeover of elections through “Zuckerbucks” and boost security at the ballot box.

Illinois Republican Rep. Rodney Davis similarly condemned the bill’s expedited passage through the lower chamber on the House floor and highlighted the hypocrisy over electoral objections.

“Democrats have objected to every single Republican presidential win in the 21st century,” Davis said.

Despite weeks of investigating, don’t forget that the J6 Committee has yet to prove that President Trump did anything illegal.

They’ve had primetime TV spots, yet the American people aren’t buying what they’re selling.

Could this be why they’re desperate to pass this bill?

Are they terrified that President Trump may successfully stage a comeback?

We all know the double standard.

Democrats will continue to question any election that is won by Republicans.

They can claim “Russia-Russia-Russia” without any investigations.

Yet the moment a single Republican asks for transparency, they will cry, “Insurrectionist!”

Axios confirms this terrifying new bill:

The House on Wednesday voted to pass legislation to reform the Electoral Count Act of 1887 to make it more difficult to subvert presidential elections.

Why it matters: The Presidential Election Reform Act was introduced by Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), both members of the Jan. 6 select committee, as a response to the events that culminated with the U.S. Capitol riot.

The details: The bill would require a third of House members to sign onto an objection to certifying a state’s presidential electors, a significantly higher threshold than the current requirement of just one House member and one senator.

  • It would also narrow the grounds for filing an objection, while clarifying that the role of the vice president in the process is purely ceremonial.
  • The bill would require governors to transmit the slate of electors chosen by the state’s popular vote and allow campaigns to file lawsuits to ensure that happens.

The context: The bill aims to prevent the events that preceded the Capitol riot — particularly related to former President Trump urging supporters that his Vice President Mike Pence could reject electors.

Perhaps instead of trying to eliminate safeguards in our electoral process, Liz and her cronies should focus on securing our elections.

Why can’t we require voter ID?

Why can’t we limit voting to election day, rather than turning it into election week?

Why can states flagrantly disobey their own laws?

Can someone please make this make sense?!
