Radical Election Focused “For the People Act” Dies in US Senate

The Senate version of the “For the People Act” failed to advance by a 50-50 vote, with all Democrats, including Joe Manchin, voting to advance the bill.

The bill, which would essentially nationalize elections and undermine state election integrity efforts, has been falsely referred to as a “voting rights” bill.

The Senate just wisely rejected a bill that would
❌ use taxpayer dollars to fund political campaigns
❌ weaken election security
❌ ban voter ID#HR1 was never about "voting rights." It's just a power-grab designed to keep Democrats in control indefinitely.

Ironically, left-wing organizations and celebrities have poured millions of dollars into efforts to promote the sweeping legislation. The 800-page bill would implement federal election regulations, direct taxpayer funding to candidates, and even allow politicians to draw a salary from campaign donations.

Republican state election officials from across the country had decried the legislation as a federal takeover of their constitutionally granted power and a gift to corrupt politicians. Many viewed the bill’s demise as a major victory for election integrity.

We won! With tonight’s vote we scored a big victory for fair elections run at the state and local level!

We won’t let DC elites tell Ohio how to run our elections. https://t.co/RRpDIJvswW
