For the People Act of 2021
This bill addresses voter access, election integrity and security, campaign finance, and ethics for the three branches of government.
Specifically, the bill expands voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration) and voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting). It also limits removing voters from voter rolls.
The bill requires states to establish independent redistricting commissions to carry out congressional redistricting.
Additionally, the bill sets forth provisions related to election security, including sharing intelligence information with state election officials, supporting states in securing their election systems, developing a national strategy to protect U.S. democratic institutions, establishing in the legislative branch the National Commission to Protect United States Democratic Institutions, and other provisions to improve the cybersecurity of election systems.
Further, the bill addresses campaign finance, including by expanding the prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, requiring additional disclosure of campaign-related fundraising and spending, requiring additional disclaimers regarding certain political advertising, and establishing an alternative campaign funding system for certain federal offices.
The bill addresses ethics in all three branches of government, including by requiring a code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices, prohibiting Members of the House from serving on the board of a for-profit entity, and establishing additional conflict-of-interest and ethics provisions for federal employees and the White House.
The bill requires the President, the Vice President, and certain candidates for those offices to disclose 10 years of tax returns.
The drawback is once the Federal government takes this type of control of the electoral processes normally left to the many states, it's only as good as the people in power in the Federal government.H.R.1 - For the People Act of 2021

Wait a minute...I thought this bill was the end of democracy as we know it. Imo, this will be the vote that brings about the end of the filibuster.H.R.1 - For the People Act of 2021

I think that is the point...Only one thing good could come of it's failure in the senate.
Joe Manchin finally realizes bipartisan compromise is not possible.
Of course he won't even vote for HR-1.
The drawback is once the Federal government takes this type of control of the electoral processes normally left to the many states, it's only as good as the people in power in the Federal government.
Once the other party is in power, they can pass laws they favor to give them advantages in states they can't control the legislators in.
It's a bad idea.
