Freedom to Vote 2021

Removing states rights to run their elections

Brief Summary of Federal

This should be a fairly limited bills area for management the overall structures like highways, military, federal buildings, federal laws, and the like. However it has become the micro manager of all micro managers. They get involved in areas that no federal government should be involved in, and shift more power upward. This has led to each party trying to run over the other party in the eyes of the voters, all the while doing everything possible to maintain their power. They do this by holding onto all of the money, and claiming they know best how it should be spent. But they run debts so badly that no one should be looking to them as an example of anything other than the way to overspend and go further into debt.

Freedom to Vote 2021 Summary

It creates forced voter registration. When a driver's license or identification card is issued, you must be registered to vote unless you affirmatively decline. Issue here becomes what if someone is getting the card because they are working in the United States for a significant amount of time and desire to have locally issued identification. No that doesn't mean they are a citizen nor entitled to vote, but what is to stop them from declining to provide that information.

They are attempting to stop unanimous shell companies from donating to campaigns. And they want to start require reporting of organizations supporting or opposing Supreme Court nominees. A single organization spend nearly $40 million in 2016. Problem is unless that information is reported to the general public as often as what the organization is saying regarding the candidate, it won't matter. People will still be swayed because it must be true if they hear it often enough and they tend to agree with the statement.

The honest ads section is very amusing. Who is to decide that is honest and what is disinformation. I've seen numerous items in recent years that have been repeatedly called misinformation, and then a year or so later it comes out that they were true or mostly true. And, what is never said, is that what was being called truth previously is not true but was accepted as truth.

Just a few tidbits from the bill itself. It is currently sitting in Congress, but I've enabled tracking in the event it gets revived.
