U.S. House Passes Election Law Bill

On March 8, the U.S. House passed HR 1, by a party-line vote of 234-193. However, the U.S. Senate is not expected to vote on the bill. HR 1 is the omnibus federal election law bill. It provides for public financing of candidates for Congress, nonpartisan redistricting of U.S. House districts, automatic voter registration, imposes new campaign finance restrictions, and makes it more difficult for presidential candidates to qualify for primary season matching funds. The provision for automatic voter registration would assist ballot access, because a larger percentage of petition signers would be registered voters.

It is expected that Democrats in the U.S. House will now introduce new bills that incorporate various provisions of HR 1, so that possibly a few provisions of HR 1 will have a chance to become law.

U.S. House Passes Election Law Bill — 5 Comments

  1. BILL MAIN PURPOSE — RIG THE GERRYMANDER REP DISTRICTS IN FAVOR OF PERMANENT RED DONKEY COMMUNIST ROBOT HACKS.

    GERRYMANDER HACKS SHOULD HAVE REQUIRED ONE PRIMARY DATE IN ALL OF THE USA.

    NO PRIMARIES.

    PR AND APPV

  2. I wonder if they would be so obvious in their efforts to crush third parties that one of the individual provisions they try to pass ends up being the five fold increase in matching funds. It wouldn’t surprise me if they did; their propaganda has been very effective at vilifying third parties over the years, practically turning us into second class citizens seen as not having the same political rights as Democrats and Republicans.

  3. I need some free speech because I am bringing the three-party system to the national Libertarian Party and I am being blocked and turned back.

    When I first was given the Hagenbach-Bischoff method in 1992 and began promoting the algorithm, I teamed up with computer scientists around the world in Usenet using DAS, I had no idea about the profound opposition. I was slandered thoroughly by a few party bosses (Cameron Spitzer, Hank Chapot, Gary Swing) at the time, but I thought that reason would eventually triumph.

    Google derived their name because of my work but they shut down the United Coalition USA and they don’t want you to know about the Hagenbach-Bischoff method and that they launched off our backs:

    In fact the state and national Libertarian Parties themselves have adopted the incorrect version of the math which instead brings a one-party system; Approval and Ranked Choice Voting in single-winner districts.

    I am extremely frustrated with the “leaders” of the California and national Libertarian Party and I have no respect for them at all.

    Someone please help. I want to expose the problem but I want to bring team psychology, so to bring encouragement and uplift moral.

    Why is the California and national Libertarian Party moving away from the mathematics two-party system in their internal elections and adopting the mathematics of a one-party system?

  4. See the RED Donkey committee report for the bill.

    Standard ravings by the REDS.

    Will each election produce ***massive*** repeals of laws

    — with ***massive*** added new hack laws in 1,000 plus page laws

    — [which only the special interest gangsters write in underground bunkers] ???
