Dems' outrageous attempt to tilt elections in their favor
[NYPOST] Civil-rights leaders met with Team Biden at the White House on Thursday to protest what they claim is a widespread assault on voting rights "for blacks and people of color," according to civil rights hustler Al Sharpton
...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor...
. Another participant, Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, said the group’s message was that "democracy is under vigorous, vicious and sinister attack."

Disregard the phony handwringing and Morial’s flamboyant warning about an "effort to impose a system of an American apartheid."

Their goal isn’t making voting easier. They want to outlaw safeguards that many state politicians believe are needed to keep voting honest.

At the top of their list of grievances was the Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
’s June 1 ruling upholding Arizona’s anti-fraud voting laws. The left is using the ruling as a pretext to demand Congress pass the For the People Act, also dubbed HR1.

HR1 would override laws like Arizona’s, ban voter-identification requirements and lay the groundwork for a permanent Democratic majority.

In the Arizona case, the justices, by a 6-3 majority, found no evidence that state voting laws put minority voters at a disadvantage or made voting too hard. Truth is, explained Justice Samuel Alito, "Arizona law generally makes it very easy to vote."

Alito explained that states have the authority to pass "non-discriminatory voting rules," to deter fraud. That’s what Arizona did. Arizona requires that voters cast ballots in their assigned precinct, and it outlaws the sleazy practice of ballot-harvesting, where paid workers walk through neighborhoods, knock on doors and offer to help residents return the ballots they’ve received in the mail.

Ballot-harvesting invites cheating, since harvesters invariably are trying to get a particular candidate elected.

The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

claims "Republican-controlled legislatures across the country have raced one another to pass laws that make voting harder." Untrue. They’re aiming to make cheating harder.

In Texas, Republican politicians are trying to push through reforms that would outlaw ballot-harvesting and require identification for voting by mail, while at the same time expanding voting hours and early-voting days. More voting. Less mischief.

Biden called the Texas reforms "un-American," but perhaps he doesn’t know and is just parroting Democratic talking points. After all, Delaware currently has no early voting at all, and he hasn’t protested that.

Democrats treat voter-fraud claims as Republican hallucinations. Not true. An alleged ballot-harvesting scheme in Minneapolis was exposed last fall by the undercover news organization Project Veritas, showing harvesters exploiting the elderly and immigrants colonists.

Europeans get it. To deter fraud, three-quarters of European countries either bar absentee voting or require showing a photo ID to get a ballot.

#1 "HR1 would override laws like Arizona’s, ban voter-identification requirements and lay the groundwork for a permanent Democratic majority." Do you have to show ID to visit the capital or Federal buildings? How about for a driver's license? Cigarettes? Buy booze? Mailing things or picking them up from the P.O., Fed Ex and UPS? 24 things you need an Id to do (there are others as well).

And HR1 would allow the Dems to steal elections ad infinitum into the future But that's not considered an assault on voting rights? It's all about power. Dems need to stop being hypocrites and lying about this.
