117th Congress
BY REP. CLAUDIA TENNEY (R-N.Y.), OPINION CONTRIBUTOR
Later today, Congress will vote on H.R. 1, the so-called “For the People Act.”
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is touting this sweeping legislation as a win for transparency and election integrity. But that could not be farther from the truth.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Claudia L. Tenney, R-22, has announced her support for a package of amendments to the legislation H.R. 1, also known as the For the People Act.
In a press release, Tenney said the “sweeping legislation amounts to an unprecedented federal takeover of state elections,” which would “weaken the integrity of the voting process, lead to massive unfunded mandates on our communities, prevent meaningful oversight of elections, and pave the way for errors and abuse.”
