Democrats’ Attempt To Abolish The Filibuster Is A Desperate Ploy To Nationalize Elections

President Biden called for the United States Senate to abolish the filibuster as part of the Democrats' desperate attempt to nationalize elections on Tuesday.

The Democrats’ "voting rights" legislation is nothing more than an attempt to nationalize elections to maintain power. If enacted, it will destroy our institutions and enable Speaker Nancy Pelosi to take over all elections throughout the country.

HERE ARE THE FACTS: 

  • The Democrats' "voting rights" legislation would:
    • Give BILLIONS of public dollars to campaigns. Speaker Pelosi would receive up to $22.7 MILLION in public dollars for her reelection campaign, and Senate Majority Leader Schumer would receive up to $44.1 MILLION for his reelection campaign.
    • Transform the office of the U.S. Attorney General into an unelected, unaccountable "Elections Czar" with the power to change state elections law and circumvent state constitutional processes.
    • Force states to legalize ballot harvesting.
    • Make it harder for states to maintain their voter lists.
    • Disregard state voter identification laws and provisional ballot rules.
    • Imposes liberal California voting methods on every state.
    • Allow the IRS to investigate and consider the political and policy persuasions of organizations before granting tax-exempt status.
  • 2020 saw the highest turnout in 120 years and, according to Pew, 94% say it's easy to vote. There is clearly no widespread "voter suppression" issue in this country.
  • The filibuster is the only reason millions of Americans have any voice in the current government.
