House Judiciary Committee holding a hearing on HR1, the Dems' sweeping pro-democracy bill.

Couple tidbits about Rs on this committee: 15 of the 17 come from states with Voter ID laws.

All but one sit in gerrymandered districts where R has >95% chance of holding that seat.

(notes: one of the two GOP members who doesn't come from Voter ID state is from PA, where courts have stopped Voter ID law; and I didn't count Armstrong from ND-AL seat in gerrymandering analysis.)

Dem witnesses are @vanitaguptaCR ⁦@Sifill_LDF⁩ @sarahturbo79 and @AdavNoti.

GOP witnesses are Hans von Spakovsky and J. Christian Adams; both were members of Trump's short-lived election integrity commission.

Rep. Ken Buck has gone full batshit in this hearing. "The Democrat Party has a long history of stealing elections in this country." Points to Huey Long, the Black Panther Party phony scandal from Philly in 2008, and Hillary stealing the nomination from Bernie. (??????)

Rep. Matt Gaetz is up next, so this is gonna get worse before it gets better. He gave Buck a fist-bump after Buck's time was up.

Rep. Gaetz is asking Gupta, re: felon re-enfranchisement, about hypotheticals in which HR1 would allow various child rapists to vote. (Specific child rapists whose crimes Gaetz is describing.)

.@vanitaguptaCR just blasted Republicans for putting von Spakovsky on the witness panel, with von Spakovsky sitting three feet away. Cited recent court case where judge criticized von Spakovsky for "several misleading and unsupported claims" about non-citizen voting.
