THE PEOPLE'S REVOLT CONTINUES – OVERNIGHT:  Even in blue New York State, the voters were sufficiently sane to understand how the Dems are trying to manipulate the electoral system, and the voters said no.  From Daily Signal: 

In one of the bluest states in the nation, voters soundly rejected proposed changes to election law that congressional Democrats are trying to impose nationally.

New York state voters voted “no” on Democrat-supported amendments to the state Constitution, pitched as “voting rights” measures, that would have expanded absentee voting, allowed same-day voter registration, and changed the rules on drawing legislative districts.

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives this year have passed four bills that were variations of their initial bill, HR1, dubbed the “For the People Act.” The measures would ban most state voter ID laws, allow same-day voter registration, expand ballot harvesting, and require unelected commissions instead of elected legislators to draw congressional districts.

Already, New York is among 15 states that don’t have laws requiring voters to show identification at the polls. The other measures rejected by state voters, however, would have moved the Empire State even closer to the vision laid out in national Democrats’ HR 1.

In each case, including this week, filibusters by Senate Republicans blocked Democrats’ election bills–and each time Democrats claimed the GOP was blocking the will of the people.

The three New York ballot measures put that Democrat claim to the test, as state voters decisively defeated all three measures despite the party’s strong advantage in voter registration.

Polling by the Honest Elections Project shows the Democrats’ goals for nationalizing elections and nullifying state voting laws are unpopular.

That’s because voters’ access to the ballot and the integrity of the ballot are intertwined, not mutually exclusive, said Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project.

“We know for a fact that a lot of the provisions of HR 1 are deeply unpopular. … You can look at the results of the ballot initiatives in New York and it shows this is not a statistical anomaly in polling,” Snead told The Daily Signal.

Election reforms likely will be on the ballot in Arizona and Pennsylvania in coming election cycles, he said.

New York’s proposed state constitutional amendments on elections faced a clear partisan divide.

Democrats backed the measures and Republicans organized opposition in a state where Democrats enjoy a 2-1 voter registration advantage, the Rochester-based Democrat & Chronicle reported.

The defeat of the three Democrat-backed election law amendments was even more pronounced by the fact that two other Democrat-backed amendments–one making clean air and water a constitutional right, another expanding the jurisdiction of the New York City Civil Court–easily passed.

“All three resoundingly defeated,” Nick Langworthy, chairman of the New York State Republican Committee, said in a public statement after the vote. “People of all party affiliations voted to keep fair and honest elections in this state.”

COMMENT:  Please read the rest.  It's so laughable to see Democrats, who practically invented corrupt elections in our big cities, present themselves as champions of the people.   With a straight face they tell us we must defeat voter i.d., possibly the strongest defense we have against fraudulent voting.  The Dems want it gone because they want the inner cities to return to the politics of the machines.  Nobody makes much progress, but everyone gets a Thanksgiving Day turkey.  Ah yes, the good old days.
