Heritage: ‘H.R. 4: The Guest That Just Won’t Leave the Party’

“Remember H.R. 1 or S. 1, the so-called ‘For the People Act?’ We’ve done several episodes about it here on Explains where we’ve talked about how, if passed, it would fundamentally change America by letting D.C. control our elections instead of the states. Since our last episode, Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin from West Virginia actually wrote an op-ed digging his heels in, and rejected H.R. 1/S. 1. Or did he? Have you heard of H.R. 4? It’s been described as the ‘backdoor’ to the ‘For the People Act.’ The problem is that it might be worse. This week, we discuss the differences between H.R. 1 and H.R. 4, the state of play, and all that is at stake.”
