https://www.politicususa.com/2021/01/19/for-the-people-act.html

"SNIP.....

The first bill of the new Democratic Senate majority is the For The People Act, which strengthens democracy and expands voting rights.

The bill is comprehensive it deals with prohibiting dark money in politics, expands early and mail-in voting for federal elections, and tackles voter intimidation.

The most fundamental change is the proposed modernization of the voter registration system:

– Requires each state to make available online voter registration, correction, cancellation and designation of party affiliation.

1. Job One

Without assurances for voting rights, nothing else matters.

[Dream Girl]

2. Yep. This is key...

[TDale313]

4. Yep. Exactly.

Glad to see this as a high priority.

3. I LOVE IT!!!

[BComplex]

5. It needs to establish forensic inspection of all voting software by bipartisan teams, and

condone audits whenever there is question. There have to be penalties for "scrubbing" the voter rolls without audit of the rights of the individual being scrubbed.

6. They need to allow us to check our vote after it is submitted.

[FakeNoose]

7. Great, but it also must be enforceable

The Repukes will double-down on cheating from now on. We can be sure of it.

8. Really? I thought it would be the Biden Rescue package...

[Thekaspervote]

9. Who ha!! This is an absolute must, and the sooner the better

[Wellstone ruled]

10. 57 years late,but we will take it.

11. I'm concerned about how hard it will still be to pass bills now

Historically Dems are much more inclined to break ranks, we don't have that unshakable adherence to the party like the rethugs They will still do all they can to foil efforts by the Dems. At 50/50 just one Dem who breaks ranks could kill something. Lets not get too giddy yet.
