NASA funding bill morphed into a federal takeover of elections
Why else would the bill called H.R. 5746 have 720 pages?
It was supposed to be about reauthorizing money for NASA’s Space Programs.
Instead, upon passage, the bill turns over control of local and state elections to the federal government.
The bill has already passed the House and Senate.
The matter is being reconciled now so it can go to the President for signature.

Who wrote this bill?
Did anyone in Congress read it?
The main role of Congress is to get re-elected.
This law tries to guarantee it.
Up until a member dies while holding office.
