When H.R. 1 requires States to establish a public holiday they have crossed the line and violated the Tenth Amendment. Furthermore, Congress may only determine the time, place, and manner of holding elections for US Senators and US House Representatives. They have no authority over State elected officials, and may not determine the time, place, or manner of holding those elections.

In New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144 (1992) the Supreme Court held that the federal government cannot commandeer a state into enacting a certain law.

In Printz v. United States, 521 U.S. 898 (1997) the Supreme Court held the federal government violated the Tenth Amendment when Congress required state and local officials to perform background checks on people buying guns.

In National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, 567 U.S. 519 (2012) the Supreme Court held that the Act’s "Medicaid expansion" was unconstitutional in threatening states with loss of existing Medicaid funding if they decline to comply. States cannot be compelled or coerced by the federal government to uphold federal law. It must be voluntary on the part of the State.

There are more Supreme Court decisions going back more than a century confirming that States are not required to uphold federal law. Every federal program they want the States to participate in must be voluntary and free of coercion. Which very effectively kills H.R. 1.

Federal Law supersede all law ......

The U.S. Constitution declares that federal law is “the supreme law of the land.” As a result, when a federal law conflicts with a state or local law, the federal law will supersede the other law or laws. This is commonly known as “preemption.”

Actually, I do know what I'm talking about. Unlike you, I actually read the legislation.

No, it does not. As the Supreme Court has repeatedly held. Are you presuming to know more about the US Constitution and the law than the Supreme Court?

Supremacy Clause​

Primary tabs​

See Preemption; constitutional clauses.

Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution is commonly referred to as the Supremacy Clause. It establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions. It prohibits states from interfering with the federal government's exercise of its constitutional powers, and from assuming any functions that are exclusively entrusted to the federal government. It does not, however, allow the federal government to review or veto state laws before they take effect.

The Supremacy Clause and Federal Preemption

law2.umkc.edu

Article VI of the Constitution makes federal law "the supreme law of the land," notwithstanding the contrary law any state might have. In the important 1958 case of Cooper v Aaron, in which the Court considered the efforts of state authorities to block integration of Little Rock's Central High School, the Court unanimously declared, "No state legislator or executive or judicial official can war against the Constitution without violating his undertaking to support it....If the legislatures of the several states may at will, annul the judgments of the courts of the United States and destroy the rights acquired under those judgments, the Constitution itself becomes a mockery." Federal law, not state law, is "the supreme law of the land."

Despite the efforts of some states, even today, to "nullify" federal laws they disapprove of, few things in constitutional law are any clearer than the fact that any such efforts are grossly unconstitutional. What remains a much more difficult question under Article VI is when a state law or action, which is at least arguably consistent with federal law, in fact creates sufficient conflict so as to justify finding it "preempted."

Preemption​

The preemption doctrine derives from the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution which states that the "Constitution and the laws of the United States...shall be the supreme law of the land...anything in the constitutions or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." This means of course, that anyfederal law--even a regulation of a federal agency--trumps any conflicting state law.

Preemption can be either express or implied. When Congress chooses to expressly preempt state law, the only question for courts becomes determining whether the challenged state law is one that the federal law is intended to preempt. Implied preemption presents more difficult issues, at least when the state law in question does not directly conflict with federal law.

The Court then looks beyond the express language of federal statutes to determine whether Congress has "occupied the field" in which the state is attempting to regulate, or whether a state law directly conflicts with federal law, or whether enforcement of the state law might frustrate federal purposes.

Federal "occupation of the field" occurs, according to the Court in Pennsylvania v Nelson (1956), when there is "no room" left for state regulation. Courts are to look to the pervasiveness of the federal scheme of regulation, the federal interest at stake, and the danger of frustration of federal goals in making the determination as to whether a challenged state law can stand.

Here’s what the bill actually contains:

A set of national voter registration and mail-in voting standards: H.R. 1 requires the chief election official in each state — the secretary of state in most — to establish an automatic voter-registration system that gathers individuals’ information from government databases and registers them unless they intentionally opt out.

And it says it’s the government’s responsibility to keep that information up-to-date, based on information from agencies like state motor vehicle administrations, agencies that receive money from Social Security or the Affordable Care Act, the justice system, and federal agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, the Social Security Administration and others.

The law would also guarantee voters same-day registration either at early voting sites or at precincts on Election Day. Each state would be required to allow at least 15 days of early voting for federal elections, for at least 10 hours a day with at least some time before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. The law would limit how states can purge voter rolls.

WE need to keep it alive:

The republicans out there are being duped in our area. Once again there is election fraud in the news. I work the polls and I can assure you there was no election fraud. However they keep undermining the integrity of the local elections by creating controversy at the local level to get the people to turn the election process over to big government. If we do we will have clearly put the fox in charge of the hen house. The last thing we want is the bought and paid for big government in charge of our election process. I want the votes counted locally. I am there from 6:00am to 9:00pm making sure our vote counts. I get to see it happen first hand right in front of my eyes. I don't want it done behind closed doors by big government and the corrupt parties who are being being paid billions of dollars counting my vote.
