Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) today voted against H.R. 1, the For the People Act. The legislation would, among other actions: Create a taxpayer funded 600% small dollar match for campaign contributions to political candidates Force states to permanently implement mail-in voting Mandate "ballot harvesting" Disregard state voter ID laws for in-person and mail-in voting Nationalize federal elections, thereby removing a right mainly given to the States in the Constitution Automatically enroll voters via state motor vehicle and other government databases, leading to duplications, deceased voters being added, and even illegal immigrants Impair the ability of a state to correct their voter rolls Congressman Harris made the following statement: "Our nation just endured a contentious election, where many overreaching, probably unconstitutional last minute changes due to COVID-19 led to mass voting confusion, serious concerns about ballot integrity, and a large percentage of Americans questioning the legitimacy of some state results. This bill, instead of addressing those issues, is a complete federal overhaul of elections, and will only result in repeats of last November's election woes. This bill is a partisan attempt to overhaul elections, and a complete sellout to the swamp, as it will aid embedded politicians by using hard-earned taxpayer dollars to fuel political campaigns. Shame on Congress." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |
