According to a post-electoral agitation period and a lethal speech to the Capitol of the United States, the Democrats plan to act swiftly in a proposal by the new Congress to defend the bases of state democracy, arguing the need for it.
The states have since different time rules and contradictory for the implementation of elections, before the election of 2020, which includes changes due to the pandemic to facilitate the suffrage and entails a demand reduction by President Donald Trump differences between states: “Should ballet balls be required for the Day of Election or should they simply be designed for entrees? Is it allowed to vote in court for all or only for those with an apology? Can I register to vote on the same day only for adelantado?
The Democrats, reaffirming the constitutional authority to close the fence, the position and manner of federal elections, have passed national rules that require the making of a more uniform, accessible and just vote in all countries. The proposed law must accept the advance vote, register the same day and make other reforms that allow Republicans their federal extrimitations.
“We have literally seen an attack on our democracy,” said Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, referring to the January 6 speech to the Capitol. “I can think of one more moment to initiate a democratic reform.”
The legislation introduced initially has two years, called the Vir die People Act (Ley para el Pueblo), in addition to independent commissions the tariff of trazar districts, requires that the political groups reveal their donors of large sums, create internet obliges the presidents to reveal their tax returns.
The Republican position was intensified during the previous session. Entonces, the leader of the Republican majority in the Senate Mitch McConnell called the “Ley de Protección de los Políticos Demócratas” and said in an editorial that the Democrats Democrats “change the rules of state politics to benefit a party”.
Although the Democrats control the Congress for the first time in a decade, the success of the initiative depends on whether it can convene Republican suffixes in order to reconsider a proposal that it has rightly rejected. If not, the Powder Democrats will decide that it is time for an extraordinary and difficult step: eliminate the “filibusterism”, a slow procedure used by the Senate frequently used by the minority party to block the proposals of the Mayor that require 60 votes to approve a legislation.
The party members say that their proposal is the most significant electoral initiative of the Legislature of the Vote of 1965. The Democratic representatives have promised to give priority to the proposal and to reintroduce it as “HR 1”, resulting in its importance for the party.
“People alone can only deposit their vote if there is a catastrophe,” said Democratic Representative John Sarbanes, who is the main patron of the media in the lower house. “It’s unbelievable that in the United States there is a maneuver in an obstacle course to get to the urn”.
With the current plans, the Chamber of Deputies will debate the proposal possibly in the first week of February. The Senate Regulatory Commission is considering a high-profile proposal in the Chamber and a vote of no confidence will allow the initiative to take place in the Senate plenary session in February, said Klobuchar, who hopes it will be the next president of the commission.
A vote shows a serious opmerklik series, claiming that the Senate will certainly be suffering from Trump’s political juxtaposition, the nomination of President Joe Biden’s nominees to the cabinet and another round of social assistance to address the pandemic.
