Democrats’ Closing Vow: End Elections As We Know Them

With Kamala Harris’ campaign on the rocks, Democrats have one hope left—totalitarianism.

While supermajorities of voters say they desperately want the next president to tackle inflation, create jobs, and pave the way for new homes, congressional Democrats have a different priority in mind if they win in November: “Saving” democracy by ending free and fair elections altogether.

After all, the American people can’t elect future “fascists” if they don’t vote.

It all comes down to rehashing the Left’s malicious, twice-failed, and unconstitutional “For the People Act” in 2025, according to a recent interview with House minority whip Katherine Clark (D-MA), as well as the accompanying “John Lewis Voting Rights” and “Freedom to Vote” Acts.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the next Speaker should Democrats win control of the House of Representatives this year, has vowed to make it the party’s top priority. So has Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)—even if that means abolishing the filibuster to ram through the radical bills, Constitution be damned.

And Kamala Harris’ campaign site, typically light on details, nevertheless agrees:

Vice President Harris will fight for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to stop racial voter suppression and the Freedom to Vote Act to modernize our elections, expand vote-by-mail and early voting, put an end to partisan gerrymandering, and reduce the corrupting influence of money in politics. She will also surge resources to the Department of Justice to investigate and crack down on those suppressing or obstructing Black Americans from exercising their right to vote.

You may be wondering why, amidst unending inflation, the unprecedented open border crisis, an out-of-control crime wave, and the threat of World War III, Democrat politicians are so obsessed with gerrymandering and mass voter registration. Or the mania over supposed “threats to democracy.”

Here’s a hint: They’re sick of voters getting in their way and tired of pretending otherwise.

Elon Musk had it right when he told Tucker Carlson in a recent interview: “If Trump doesn’t win this election, it’s the last election we’re going to have.”

If you think he’s exaggerating, look at the policies the Democrats are proposing—because they’re designed to guarantee no Republican or independent ever wins office again. Period.

Dictatorship of the Woke-tariat

What’s most striking about this list of election “reforms” is how near-identical it is to that of the Communist Party USA, which still believes in abolishing private property to establish its “socialist revolution.”

For fun, let’s compare them one-by-one.

Keeping Voter Rolls Dirty

Democrats: Would block states from removing ineligible or dead voters from the rolls, including non-citizens who cannot legally vote in U.S. elections. When Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) attempted to remove 6,000 non-citizens from the voter rolls per a 2006 law signed by then-Gov. Tim Kaine, a Democrat, Kamala’s Justice Department sued to stop him.

Communists: Would “end right-wing voter purges, which are aimed at placing obstacles in the path of voting by people of color, poor people, and students.”

Abolish the Electoral College

Democrats: Kamala Harris was one of 18 Democrat presidential candidates to back “eliminating the electoral college in favor of the popular vote” in 2020. 18 states—all run by Democrats—have joined the National Popular Vote compact to do just that.

Communists: Plan to “eliminate the Electoral College, institute direct elections for President and Vice-President.”

Stop (Republican) Gerrymandering

Democrats: Would grant the Justice Department unfair control of states’ redistricting process and outsource it from the people’s representatives to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats.

Communists: Would also “establish non-partisan redistricting commissions to end hyper-partisan gerrymandering.”

Arming the Felon Vote

Democrats: Plan to restore voting rights to felons at the very least; the most extreme plans include allowing felons currently serving sentences to vote absentee, as is the law in D.C., Maine, and Vermont.

Communists: Following suit with a plan to “restore voting rights to felons who have served their time, as already happens in Maine and Vermont.”

D.C. Statehood

Democrats: The For the People Act included a provision granting statehood to the District of Columbia, gifting a city a voting congressman and 2 U.S. Senators—likely enough to ensure control of the Senate for the next decade or more.

Communists: Vowed in May to rescue the “people of the District of Columbia” from their status as “colonial subjects under colonial-like conditions” by introducing D.C. “as the 51st state.” Oh, and guaranteeing “the municipal right to vote for immigrants” (meaning non-citizens).

Citizenship for Illegal Aliens & Non-Citizen Voting

Democrats: Kamala Harris’ border bill—which she touts every time she’s asked about her failure as border czar—would’ve given citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens. For those who remain illegal, Democrats have moved to legalize non-citizen voting in cities across New York, Maryland, Vermont, and D.C. while blocking Republican efforts to require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote.

Communists: Already pledged to “provide a pathway to citizenship for immigrants” and “enable non-citizen immigrants to vote in local elections.”

All-Mail, Ever-Earlier, Without ID

Democrats: Would create a one-size-fits-all minimum of 2 weeks for early voting in all 50 states and 60 days of vote-by-mail, mandate no-excuse absentee balloting, bar photo ID for requesting a mail-in ballot, legalize ballot trafficking, count ballots that arrive 10 days after Election Day, and help voters “cure” issues with their ballots.

Communists: Ditto.

Ranked-Choice Voting

Democrats: Push ranked-choice voting, which confuses voters and suppresses votes, in ruby-red states like Alaska, while fighting it in deep-blue D.C.

Communists: Ranked-choice voting is vital to Karl Marx’s proletarian revolution to overthrow the greedy bourgeoisie capitalists and establish the workers’ paradise. (We’re not kidding.)

Automatic & Same-Day Voter Registration

Democrats: The For the People Act would force all states to automatically register everyone to vote and let individuals register on Election Day, flooding the voter rolls with unverified voters—including non-citizens—and risking mass ballot fraud. This has been the Left’s project for at least a decade, to bring “millions of new voters onto the rolls” in order to dramatically drive up Democrat voter turnout with billions of dollars in “dark money.”

Communists: Fully agree—let’s “allow automatic voter registration for all eligible voters” and force “same-day registration.”

But it isn’t all same. Democrats balk at a few Communist Party proposals that the latter consider key to saving democracy: Only using paper ballots instead of voting machines and enacting proportional representation in state legislatures and Congress (which would guarantee GOP and third-party seats).

Oh—and ensuring third-parties like the Communists, Greens, and Libertarians make it to the ballot in all 50 states and D.C.

Recall that Democrat super-lawyers like Marc Elias have spent a fortune booting third-party candidates—especially Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and the Green Party’s Jill Stein—off the ballot in swing states where they think it’ll hurt Kamala. (Or subsequently keeping Kennedy on the ballot where it could hurt Trump.)

Hypocritical? Sure. Shameless? Of course. But for leftists obsessed with power, “if you win, you need not have to explain.”
