#1 Dems will now try to sneak in HR4.
Some Republicans are already opposing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, H.R. 4, as an alternative to the For the People Act, referred to as H.R. 1 in the House and S.1 in the Senate.

"If you put the federal government in charge of everything, again, they will gut things like voter ID laws, they're going to make it more difficult to maintain accurate voter files, they're going to require ballot harvesting," Republican Sen. Ron Johnson told Just the News.

Conservatives view H.R. 4 as H.R. 1 in disguise.

"I think that we should resist any temptation to have a federal takeover of elections, and whether that's called H.R. 1 or H.R. 4 doesn't particularly matter to me," Jason Snead of the Honest Elections Project told Just the News. "I think that right now, what you see on the progressive left is the treatment of H.R. 4 as the backup plan."
