What makes it unconstitutional?Its a terrible bill and it unconstitutional. Won't get past the Senate.
On Wednesday, House Democrats voted 220-210 to pass H.R. 1, the “For the People Act,” which is the most important set of voting and election reforms since the historic Voting Rights Act was adopted in 1965. These reforms, which House Democrats previously passed in 2019, face a challenging path to in the Senate given Democrats’ narrow majority and uncertainty over whether they can overcome a GOP filibuster, but their adoption is critical for preserving American democracy amid unprecedented attack by Republican extremists both in and outside Congress

House Democrats’ massive voting rights bill, explained
The For the People Act still faces a steep climb in the US Senate.www.vox.com
The Republican Party wants only ELIGIBLE voters and their legal votes to be counted. The Democrat Party wants ALL people (including dead people, people who do not live in their voting precinct, illegal aliens, felons, foreigners, et al) to vote as many times as they can. This bill is anti-American and unconstitutional.Thank you for admitting that the current voter-suppression efforts in some states are motivated by partisanship. Nobody can tell if there is "one party rule" at any time unless there is a free election in which all eligible people can vote and the votes are counted. If you are concerned that one party cannot win, look at the party and the candidates it runs, who perhaps have no appeal for some voters. Voters know that we all have to live with the results of any individual being elected to, and exercising the powers and functions of a public office.Just like we see how important the US Constitution is to the left. This takes elections out of the hands ofAll Republicans should vote for it, because we all know how important free and fair elections are to them.
the states and nationalizes them even as the federal government clamps down on freedoms and ignores law.
It's a gift from democrats to democrats that insures one party rule forever. Goodbye USA.
A person who opposes making sure that as many people can vote as possible is not a patriot. This bill is definitely needed given the anti-democracy movement that we have seen recently.

It's patently unconstitutional.
The vile Nazis in the house who passed it should be dragged into the streets naked and beaten.

It goes counter to states rights and will not pass SCOTUS muster even if it squeezes through the senate--and Kameltoe will be on record as passing an unconstitutional bill.Just like we see how important the US Constitution is to the left.

Shame on you for parroting right-wing lies. There has never, ever been proof of any widespread voter fraud. None. The republicans want to prevent eligible people from voting, which is a betrayal of our American values. They should move to Russia. They already have admitted several times that they cannot win without suppressing the legitimate vote (i.e. cheating). Face the fact that right-wing policies are not acceptable to a lot of people.
Mail out votes cause massive fraud. ALL votes should be on Election Day. WITH an ID.that looks to be a sensible set of proposals. You would have to be ultra cynical to raise an objection to it.
Pelosi is a traitorous Vermin. So is Fatass Jerry Nadler and PencilNeck Schiff.Shame on you for parroting right-wing lies. There has never, ever been proof of any widespread voter fraud. None.

Shame on you for supporting and praising the most vicious attack on civil rights and Constitutional Liberty since the first civil war.
Any of the vermin in the house who voted for this is a fucking traitor - openly violating the Constitution of the United States.
They should be dragged into the street naked and beaten.
This has nothing to do with voting, this is the outlawing of dissenting speech.
Congress shall make no law.
But Congress just did make a law - which makes congress, or at least that branch, illegitimate. Openly and wantonly shitting on the Bill of Rights cannot be simply shrugged off.
Those who voted for this violated their oath of office to support and defend the Constitution - they have engaged in treason.
I understand that this attack on the constitution has no chance in the Senate, yet the fact that there are traitorous vermin in the house who voted for this shows that the nation cannot be reconciled, cannot be healed. The democrats are dedicated to the utter and complete destruction of the Union and Constitutional Republic and MUST be treated as what they are, enemy combatants waging civil war against America.
That is not true, but since you claim you are a Canadian citizen, you have no idea that our founders set up a system to protect the voting rights of only citizens of the United States with one vote each.But you do not want people to vote at all. Your opinion needs to be read through that filter.that looks to be a sensible set of proposals. You would have to be ultra cynical to raise an objection to it.
I object to almost EVERY DINGLE ITEM in that legislation. It goes in the exact OPPOSITE direction of what we need to do in order to fix this country.
Think they read it before it passed???...lolFor the People Behind The Curtain Act. Fixed the bill name for you.
Why does "The People's Republic of China/N. Korea" come to mind?If you can be certain of one thing, if congress passes something with a title like "for the people", it will function in exactly the opposite manner.
See: "Affordable Care Act" and "Patriot Act".
