Rush Envisioned How Justice Amy Coney Barrett Could Save the Republic Apr 12, 2021 JASON: You’ve gotta understand the difference between majority rule and mob rule. That’s why Franklin supposedly said, “A republic, if you can keep it.” There was actually a great controversy as to whether that went down. But regardless, it’s a good line. (chuckles) Think about Section 4, Article 1: “The times, places, and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives has been prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof.” Article 2: “Each state shall appoint — in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct — the number of electors.” Now, what would happen, do you suppose, my friends, if H.R. 1, which seeks to federalize elections…? This is the federalizing of elections thanks to COVID. No deadlines, all mail-in, universal mail-ins, no voter ID.
