To destroy is the goal of the Democrats.
And you lefties, this includes your neighborhoods. Think about it for once in your life.
Also, Democrats think the voter rolls should never be purged (even though it is in federal law that they may be purged)
On Thursday, President Joe Biden signed a law proclaiming Juneteenth, June 19, a federal holiday, commemorating the freeing of the very last slaves in the United States in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. Yet the president used Juneteenth as an excuse to push his radical agenda, including his federal takeover of elections and housing. He demonized Republican voter integrity laws and hailed a federal program that will pull zoning decisions away from city councils.“The truth is, it’s simply not enough to just commemorate Juneteenth. After all, emancipation of enslaved black Americans didn’t mark the end of America’s work to deliver on the promise of equality,” Biden said. “To honor the true meaning of Juneteenth, we have to continue toward that promise. We’ve not gotten there yet.”The president said his administration is “committed to doing just that. That’s why we’ve launched an aggressive effort to combat racial discrimination in housing.”Combatting racial discrimination in housing is a noble goal, but Biden was referring to a revamped version of the Obama administration’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule (AFFH), a rule that started removing zoning from the purview of state and local governments. The Trump administration eliminated the rule, but the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under Biden has already proposed two new rules. Part of Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan explicitly pushes for apartment buildings in neighborhoods that are currently restricted to single-family homes.During the 2020 campaign, Biden promised to go much further than AFFH. He embraced Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-N.J.) strategy for ending single-family zoning in the suburbs and creating “little downtowns” there. Biden justifies his assault on local zoning control by claiming that current zoning laws that favor single-family homes disproportionately hurt low-income people who can’t afford to move to the suburbs. Yet this policy would take away Americans’ abilities to shape their own neighborhoods.Biden’s pledge to increase black homeownership may be noble, but Donald Trump was right to warn that Biden’s policies represent a threat to the suburbs.In terms of pushing racial equity on Juneteenth, the president also touted his administration’s goal to give black entrepreneurs more access to capital (a noble goal but a policy that singles people out based on the color of their skin) and his desire to “give each and every child, three and four years of age, not daycare but school.” Yet without vital measures to improve schools like school choice, decreasing the age of first entry may not make much of a positive difference.Biden also called for more funding for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) ... (NB Trump already did this)Yet Biden saved his most controversial talking point for last.He said America’s promise of racial equality is “not going to be fulfilled so long as the sacred right to vote remains under attack.”“We see this assault from restrictive laws, threats of intimidation, voter purges, and more, an assault that offends our very democracy,” Biden insisted. “We can’t rest until the promise of equality is fulfilled for every one of us. … That, to me, is the meaning of Juneteenth.”Biden’s remarks on the right to vote echoed his previous attack on Georgia’s election integrity law. He condemned the law as not just racist but “Jim Crow on Steroids.” Yet Georgia’s new law merely restored some election integrity protections that had been cast aside for the pandemic in 2020. The Washington Post gave Biden four Pinocchios for repeatedly claiming that the Georgia law “ends voting hours early.” In fact, the bill extended voting hours. The election laws in Biden’s home state of Delaware are far more restrictive.Rep. Burgess Owens (R-Utah) eviscerated this line of attack in April.“As someone who has actually experienced Jim Crow laws, I would like to set the record straight on the myths regarding the recently-passed Georgia state law, and why any comparison between this law and Jim Crow is absolutely outrageous,” Owens declared....
Georgia's law is a attempt to block the right of people to vote. You are right wing Nazis who are trying to establish a dictatorship. There is no evidence of fraud so there is no election integrity to restore. the bill cuts the number of hours to vote because it bans 24 hour voting that Fulton instituted. Also the number of drop boxes were sharply cut and are only available during business hours. It also subjects people who vote by mail to potential identity fraud. The fact is that the number of people who vote in Delaware are far fewer than in Georgia. Also the founding fathers gave the Congress the power to regulate federal elections.
Burgess Owens is a dumb Trump supporter who mouths Trump's lies. He is a lying weasel.
Really? That power is give to the states with a few exceptions, none of which have anything to do with the Georgia election law.
There are major exceptions. The Constitution allows Congress to regulate federal elections. Presidents, Congressmen and Senators are federal officials.
