In the aftermath of the GOP's assault on the integrity of the 2020 presidential election and amid a torrent of Republican measures aimed at restricting voting rights in the name of security, Democrats are pushing for a far-reaching solution to counter attempts at narrowing access to the ballot box. Among the key tenets of the bill to overhaul the nation's election system: allowing for no-excuse mail voting, at least 15 days of early voting, automatic voter registration and restoring voting rights to felons who have completed their prison sentences. Democrats' comprehensive bill passed the House -- for the second time -- nearly along party lines earlier this month and was introduced in the Senate this week.

The debate over H.R. 1 reflects the broader reckoning within the GOP over how to win elections in the post-Trump era, when the most significant motivator for both sides is no longer on the ballot. With both history and conventional wisdom pointing to an advantage for the out-of-power party in midterms, some Republicans are convinced H.R. 1 could make a difference.

But Republican fears don't necessarily permeate in states where -- even with more people voting -- they found success in 2020, such as"I think it's a mistake for Republicans to believe that under any particular voting model they can't win elections. I think that's wrong and absurd, but it's the same error the Democrats are making trying to push H.R.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., underlined the string of attacks from Republicans on the electoral system in his defense of the Senate's companion bill.

That sounds like a great law

Good. Bring it

Fair unbiased elections are worrying law abiding Republicans, I don't see why. A government will be chosen through the process just the way it always worked. If Republicans are not that government then they need a new plan.

HR 1 bill = voting fraud

Only the gop would call making voting easier a “power grab”. Why don’t the gop propose a federal holiday for Election Day?

The insurrection was disastrous!

The Demorats had this planned, This is why the Election was stolen. To get all this done. It was all planned. Wake up people.

Gerrymandering is not other thing of abuse of power by rep’s when they had the power in both chambers ,that has to change

If your party can't win an election if all the qualified people vote, you do not deserve to win.

the GOP actively works against the American people so anything that hurts them helps us.

Why does McConnell think more people voting would be bad for Republicans?

yay!

McConnell admits HR1 would be devastating because it prevents the GOP from screwing people out of their right to vote. nbcnews OANN NewsMax voxdotcom NewYorker politico thedailybeast slate ozy reason HuffPostLife TheWeek BreitbartNews FoxNews TraitorGOP

Maybe they need to change their messaging to something else besides making it harder for you to vote you think?

Yes, if all Americans, other than white males, are allowed to vote, Republicans will lose their majorities in the states. Republicans are fascists in how they hold onto power.

There is no GOP!!!!! They've become 'Russian Puppets' and have brought anything 'absolutely devastating....' upon themselves by their misdeeds. If they had worked at taking care of all Americans vs just themselves, perhaps they wouldn't be facing such turmoil. Not feeling it!!

If GOP is against it, it MUST BE GOOD FOR AMERICA!

That the reasoning behind the bill. The hypocrites want to be permanently in power so they can control us and make our life miserable.

You think Republicans would hesitate if the situation was reversed? Filibuster too. I say do all the things that terrorize the GOP,give them something to cry about rather than their made up victimhood.

If more Americans vote is AMAZING for America, but devastating for Republicans? Republicans hate America

Because it let's people actually vote? Shocking.
