Alabama Republican U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R) told host Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily Thursday (March 4) that if Democrats introduce H.R. 1 bill becomes law, it would make U.S. elections similar to those in the former Soviet Union and invite widespread voter fraud.
Brooks said said if H.R. 1, named after the For the People Act, becomes law, it would be the worst election-related legislation in U.S. history. “It would be far more destructive to our republic than any legislation I’ve said I’ve ever seen or heard of, even in history books.” As an example, he said the bill lets 16- and 17-year-olds register to vote and allows voter registration from several different sources, such as driver’s licenses, social security cards or anything government.
He continued, “If you change your address, you will be registered twice. In my case, I’m Morris Jackson Brooks Jr. in one place and Morris Jay Brooks Jr. in another place, then I would get registered twice.
It would be massive voter fraud,” he said. In short, Democrats ignored and undermined the 2005 Federal Election Reform Commission report and went beyond the worst-case scenario listed in the report that we should avoid. That report was made by a bipartisan commission headed by Jimmy Carter (R-UT) and James Baker (D-MA).”
Brooks also talked about, “If you talk about non-citizens voting in U.S. elections, H.R. 1 would make it easier because it would be a criminal offense for election workers to refuse to allow non-citizens to vote at the polls. It’s crazy, but that’s why they want to pass this law, they want to tie the hands of our election workers. If people try to challenge non-citizens who vote in U.S. elections, they will be afraid they will be prosecuted.”
“On the other hand, the 2005 bipartisan report said we need to minimize mass mail-in ballots and minimize absentee ballots because those are the places where fraud is most likely to occur,” Brooks added, “but what are the Democrats doing? They’re expanding it tremendously. The exact opposite of what we should be doing.”
Brooks said, “There are dozens of provisions in the bill that undermine the sanctity and accuracy of elections, and the massive voter fraud we’ll see in some places in 2020 will become commonplace across America.” “In short, if H.R. 1 is implemented, U.S. elections will be no more credible than those in the old Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela or North Korea. Sure, you can vote, but your vote doesn’t count.”
“Daily News” host Marlowe predicted, “It would also give the Democrats a permanent majority. If this bill passes, there’s no way Republicans can ever win an election again.”
“We’re not stealing the election, they’re stealing the election,” Brooks concluded.
