Sorry, Stacey Abrams, H.R. 1 Exemplifies the Need for the Filibuster

And without a filibuster, there would be little national debate on H.R. 1, which would, among many other things:

  • Force states to count mail-in votes that arrive up to ten days after Election Day, but also force states to allow 15 days of early voting.
  • Force states to allow shady ballot harvesting.
  • Force states to ban basic voter-ID laws that are used in nearly every modern Western democracy.
  • Force states to provide people with same-day registration and allow them to change their names and addresses on the rolls at the polling place on Election Day, yet ban state officials from challenging provisional ballots or checking signatures — which, incidentally, wouldn’t need to be notarized or witnessed.
  • Force states to automate registration of people who apply for unemployment, Medicaid, Obamacare, and college, whether they want to be registered or not.
  • Ban prosecution of noncitizens who register to vote.
  • Force states to have curbside voting and ballot drop boxes on the street.
  • Empower the federal government to micromanage polling stations, hours, early-voting locations, and drop boxes, no matter what local traditions or practicality dictates.
  • Force states to allow felons to vote and also register 16-year-olds (the next step in destroying voter integrity will be giving kids voting rights).
  • Force states to hand over the power to draw congressional districts to federal partisan bureaucrats rather than elected state officials.
  • Force states to adopt burdensome unconstitutional speech-impeded regulations while giving more power to politicians and student activists.
If one opposes any of these newly concocted third-world voting practices — or defends the importance of a policy-neutral filibuster that preserves some semblance of federalism — then Democrats will claim you are trying to resuscitate Jim Crow. It takes a special kind of shameless mendacity to deploy the filibuster over 500 times since 2014 and then contrive a showdown over the issue before Republicans have used it even once.
