Nancy Pelosi Vows Congress Will Pass ‘Election Reform’ Bill: Criminalized Political Speech, Pre-Paid Absentee Ballots

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) outlined a few key objectives Congress will pursue on the “first day” of the 117th Congress, promising to pass H.R.1, an “election reform” bill Republicans warn will enable even greater voter fraud.

In a letter to her colleagues on Friday in which she formally requested their support to reelect her as speaker of the House, Pelosi said Democrats will prioritize “championing progress” for LGBTQ Americans, women, seniors, and frontline communities, as well as “remove barriers to the ballot box so that the American people can make their voices heard” in the 117th Congress.

“Our Democratic House will proudly pass our election reform, anti-corruption, and voting rights legislation by passing H.R.1 on the first day of the new Congress,” she vowed in the letter.

Democrats tried to advance H.R.1, also known as the “For the People Act,” last year, which specifically “expands voter registration and voting access and limits removing voters from voter rolls,” according to a summary of the bill.

A “Memo to the Movement” from the Conservative Action Project highlighted a number of the objectives outlined in the bill, which includes the criminalization of political speech and the automatic registration of voters.
