Votes and Legislation

What is HR1? HR1 is typically the title of the “flagship” legislation promoted by the political party currently in power in the U.S. House of Representatives at the beginning of each two-year election cycle. This year is no different. Contained in HR1 are the following provisions:

• Makes illegal any law in any State that requires Identification in order to vote
• Require states to restore the ability of felons to vote the moment they are out of prison regardless of uncompleted parole, probation, or restitution requirements. 
• Other terms here

The Heritage Foundation, a self-proclaimed and often quoted Libertarian think-tank, offers this summary of HR1.

How does HR1 affect our 49th Congressional District? Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
