If HR1 somehow miraculously passes

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

If Manchin and Sinema come around on the filibuster just for this “one-time” bill and some form of this bill is passed, is it safe to say State Republican Attorney Generals will sue and this will eventually end up at the SCOTUS

1. not really. you can't just sue because you don't like a bill

there has to be a reason based on law.

2. Won't the suit say something to the effect that

HR1 contradicts their voting laws and its sovereignty to run their elections

[drray23]

4. not quite for federal elections. As per the constitution

Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

5. Good

It’s seems they have no case with that language.

6. I can see different rules for federal and state elections if this were to pass

Early voting for federal but come back on Election Day for state elections. Oh won’t that be just fun. Yes repugs will do something like this.

[drray23]

7. yeap. this would be such a huge mess

you would think even repubs would realize it and back off like they are doing in Texas after they saw that it was going to after their voters badly as well..

8. Parts of HR1 will most likely be found to be unconstitutional. n/t

3. It certainly faces a tough road... in the Senate and at SCOTUS

I'm not holding my breath.
