How is fair redistricting defined?The four major tenants of the HR1 bill are as follows:
1. Expanded voter registration
2. Fair redistricting
3.Outlaw voter purging
4.Restore parts of the Voting Rights Act to insure everyone gets to vote.
Mitch McConnell says that this bill is a power grab, do you? If you think it is a power grab, how is it so? It seems to me to make the one thing that makes us a great country easier, the right to vote for our representatives. None of the four seems to be partisan. It seems to me that many politico's want voting to go from a right to a privilege that falls to only those of ones own party.

What does #3 mean? Dead people never come off the voter rolls. How about if you move to a different district? How about college kids who register where their school is and move when they graduate etc.
#1 Not sure what pelosi is calling for here.
Non-partisan redistricting, not aimed at either party gaining an advantage. Basically making it one man one vote again. In Wisconsin in 2018 one party got 55% of the vote, but got only 34% of the legislative positions due to redistricting that favored one party. It basically did away with the one man one vote. It can and has been done. In 1990, the county I lived in used a computer generated redistricting plan for its supervisor districts that eliminated all political input. No one could complain and the districts were all of one population size, but did include areas of like interest such as cities and towns. I know how it worked as I was part of the people who were involved in running the program.The plan was accepted without comment. If a county can do so, a state can do so.

The reason I asked is that I am all for non partisan lines being drawn and basically gridding the state into equally populated districts but I have not seen any of them do that yet.Non-partisan redistricting, not aimed at either party gaining an advantage.

Personally and this is just my opinion but I dont understand the need for voter registration. Why not allow anyone with a valid government I'd present it at the poll and vote. What is the purpose of making people register?It means that a state can not just purge people off the rolls without cause and will have to notify those who are purged from the rolls for any reason. And in reality, if someone dies, without Id how can someone vote for them? What the House and you can say Pelosi is saying, let the people vote and what comes, comes. In Virginia alone the present Governor, who was in charge of voting in that state before the election of 2018, purged something like 1.4 million people off of the rolls in the last two years before the election and did not notify them that they had been purged. Do you think 1.4 million people died during that two years?
Yes that's the basic gist of itNot sure what the bill says. Mt state is about 60/40 in favor of democrats. Yet democrats hold 100% of the federal house of representative states. Are you saying this bill would call for 40% of our representatives would be republican.

All of it. A
desperate attempt to make election fraud even easier.
1. To register as a voter you have to be a US citizen, by "expanding" registration you create more opportunities for cheating.
2. What defines "fair"? The party in power?
3. So voter rolls just keep growing, ad infinitum? Making sure voter rolls match current voters is important.
4. Which parts?
Having a fair and honest election system is critical. Making it "easier" should be the goal. Ensuring only those allowed to vote actually vote.
