My Turn: S.1 would limit state’s rights Published: 5/6/2021 12:00:06 PM This so-called For the People Act must be rejected by Sens. Hassan and Shaheen. This is a politically biased bill that favors the ability of Democrats to control the federal government. It is a total destruction of our U.S. Constitution that gives the states the power to legislate rules for voting. Some politicians try to justify voting for S.1 by saying it prohibits voter suppression. This voter suppression argument is not true. The issue is about voter integrity, which S.1 weakens. The founders of our nation looked at all of the different forms of government in history and had one driving goal. That is, to make sure that America would never again be controlled by a central government with absolute power over states.
