H.R. 1, a law passed in the U.S. House seeking to hijack the American electoral system and nationalize our historic system of locally controlled elections, has become one of the most controversial pieces of legislation in the 117th Congress. Having passed the House, the legislation has come into significant roadblocks in the United States Senate. According to the Heritage Foundation, H.R.1 and its companion bill in the Senate, S.1 would federalize the election process, imposing unnecessary, unwise, and unconstitutional mandates on the states.

Just recently, the Voter Integrity Project exposed the fact that H.R. 1 inspired legislation is being introduced in a variety of states. According to their research, 563 bills contained legislation with elements that resemble H.R. 1.  

Accordingly, Texas had the most with 91 measures and New York came in second with 71 measures. Here are some examples based on several states. 

Arizona which is still under a massive election audit with suspected voter fraud, has multiple bills that weaken election integrity in ways similar to the radical H.R. 1. “Highlights” include allowing felons to vote, allowing children under the age of 18 the ability to register to vote, measures that support ballot harvesting, and same day registration.   

Florida has bills in consideration which include automatic registration, allowing expanded ability for felons to vote.   

Illinois state legislature has introduced bills that are among the most aggressive in weakening voter integrity and include expanded use of curbside voting, drop boxes, online registration, allowing mail-in ballots on a permanent basis, allowing those under 18 years of age to register to vote, and allowing felons to vote.   

The North Carolina General Assembly has several bills that may be on the verge of being passed.  H839 deals with changing the voting age so that children age 16 and 17 can vote and H782 increases absentee voting. H819 addresses alternate observers at a voting place.  Please contact your state Representative here and your Senator here to share your concern. 

To help the Voter Integrity Project with the sheer scale of this work, they need additional volunteers to assist in reading and reviewing the various bills before state legislatures and Congress.
