Representative Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) introduced House Resolution 55 (HR 55) aimed at repealing the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), also known as the “Motor Voters” Act. Introducing HR 55, Biggs and President Scott Perry (R-PA.), he said:
A bill to abolish the 1993 National Voter Registration Act. Section 1, when enacted by the United States Senate and House members of Congress. Repeal of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. 1993 (52 USC 20501 et seq.) has been abolished.
National Voter Registration Act of 1993
The NVRA has the main goal of increasing voter registration by making the registration process “wide and accessible and easy to achieve” and increasing election participation among “historically underrepresented groups.” It was signed into law by former President Bill Clinton.
The Act requires that individuals provide voter registration if they apply or renew their driver's license in the Automobile Division (DMV). It is also required that voter registrations be available in state-funded offices that provide public assistance, unemployment compensation, or services for people with disabilities, with the aim of expanding standard voter registration.
By integrating voter registration into these government interactions, NVRA will increase voter participation in specially targeted groups. Since becoming law, Democrats believe that voter registration and participation has increased significantly, and that the NVRA has significantly increased voter registration and participation, ignoring concerns about neglecting voter retention.
The integrity of a 30-year compromised election
Critics say that by transferring powers to control elections away from the state government, the NVRA undermines constitutional principles by robbing legal voters of increased threats of fraud. I say it.
Biggs argues that the most important threat posed by the NVRA is the inability to ensure citizenship verification during voter registration, increased the risk of voter fraud, and non-citizens undermines the integrity of election outcomes. Masu. As the representative Biggs pointed out in the press release, the requirement for “athletic voters” threatens the integrity of our election.
The integrity of elections is central to the foundations of our constitutional republic. Currently, federal law requires an individual to be a US citizen to vote in federal elections, but it simply means that he or she is a US citizen without evidence of citizenship. It requires the state to accept signed proof. This LAX procedure is a threat to the integrity of our elections, as it is a procedure for registering individuals to vote in states with strict citizenship requirements for voter registration.
The NVRA fundamentally infringes the integrity of the electoral system by requiring the state to register voters without proof of citizenship, and ensures that the state properly manages outdated and inaccurate voter roles. It restricts it or restricts duplicate voter registrations.
Constitutional Authority
Article 1, Section 4; Article 1, Section 8; The Tenth Amendment clarifies the division of power between the federal and state governments, and restricts Congressional power, particularly to assembly elections. HR 55 is important for returning powers to the state to hold elections in accordance with the constitution.
According to Article 4, Article 4, Congress can only regulate the time, place and method of elections for senators and representatives, and this power should be exercised on a case-by-case basis. This section does not allow federal authorities for state or local elections.
Additionally, Article 8, Article 8 lists the enumerated powers of legislatures that do not mention the regulation of state or local elections. The 10th Amendment expressly states that it is reserved by the state or citizen that powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are not thereby prohibited by the state. Therefore, management of elections at the state and local level should fall under state authority, including how states manage voter registration and identification through agencies such as DMVs.
HR 55 is seeking to restore election integrity and state sovereignty by returning the responsibility for voter registration to the state. The NVRA imposes a one-size-fit approach of the federal government, undermining the principles of federalism envisaged by fathers established and enforced in the constitution.
Biggs laws appear to reinforce the principles of our Republic, return powers to the states and return to more efficient and safer elections controlled by the state. Repealing the NVRA would eliminate unconstitutional voter registration practices that have been in place for over 30 years.
