How HR1 would change elections; Pelosi touts ‘Big, bold, transformational’ infrastructure bill

The IRS is sending out the third round of stimulus checks. But around 8 million fewer Americans qualify for this round. That's according to an estimate by the Institute of Taxation and Economic Policy. This third round of stimulus cuts off for individuals earning over $80,000 a year and married couples making over $160,000 a year.Show more

Now that the massive $1.9T stimulus package has been signed into law, the House is introducing its next massive project: the infrastructure bill. Also numbering in trillions, it would tackle clean energy, roads and bridges, and changing the power sector, among other ambitious goals. But the bill's already facing push back from both sides of the aisle.

And the controversial voting election reform package, HR 1 or "For the People's Act" would overhaul the election system. The nearly 800-page controversial election reform package seeks to impose country-wide requirements on voting procedures, such as mandating automatic voter registration and making it legal for mail in voting across the whole country without the need to provide photo ID to get an absentee ballot. It would violate the same day clause in the constitution. What is it and how would HR1 change it?
