HR 1 – The “For the People Act of 2021”
This bill was first proposed by congressional Democrats in 2019. They claim: “This bill addresses voter access, election integrity, election security, political spending, and ethics for the three branches of government. Specifically, the bill expands voter registration and voting access and limits removing voters from voter rolls.”
With control of both houses of Congress and the presidency, congressional Democrats are working to pass HR 1

In March 2021, Rasmussen Reports found:
75% of Likely U.S. Voters believe voters should be required to show photo identification such as a driver’s license before being allowed to vote.
Majorities of whites (74%), blacks (69%) and other minorities (82%) say voters should be required to show photo identification before being allowed to vote.
Voters under 40 support voter ID laws more than do older voters. Voters who strongly approve of Joe Biden’s job performance as president were most likely to say voter ID laws are discriminatory.
