Here is the truth about John Lewis voting rights which is HR 4. It would nationalize vote by mail the problem with this it would eventually lead to one party rule. Many states that have gone to a complete vote by mail have seen there policies go less to the common person. Oregon was the 1st state to go complete vote by mail in the 1990's. Oregon has not had a Republican governor since both US Senators are extremely left of center. Last Republican US Senator was Gordon Smith who lost a special election in 1996 but won after Mark Hatfield decided to retire. There have been some Republicans who have won statewide elections in 2018 Dennis Richardson won the election of Secretary of State which is the next person in charge if the Governor dies or resigns. My home state of Washington started to do vote by mail this process started when a Secretary of State Ralph Munro a Liberal Republican suggested to county auditors should start allowing voters to vote by mail in the 1980's. Sam Reed his successor really promoted by this idiot both are Republicans. Current three term secretary of state Kim Wyman a Republican who actually testified against this bill recently. Washington State counties one by one started to do vote by mail starting in 2005 then in 2008 most counties had voted by mail except in Pierce County where it took a bill by a state senator by the name of Craig Pridemore out of Clark County to close that county's polling places in 2011.
The Anchorage Assembly voted 9-2 on September 28, 2016 the ordinance was signed by Ethan Berkowitz this was suppose to be in effect in 2017 but due to technicalities it was delayed til 2018. The truth here is Anchorage Assembly was 9-2 before vote by mail. This method kept that in place. You could say that during Mayor Condon's term in Spokane and current mayor Nadine Woodward have a 6-1 progressive city council since 2011. However every so often this method still does not change rural area elections. Eagle River and Chugiak still have two conservative assembly people. Most rural counties still are dominated by GOP lawmakers this even includes Eastern Washington's largest county Spokane even though it does have a Democrat district the 3rd legislative which has not elected a Republican since the late John Moyer served one term in the state senate from 1993-1997. Which is why Spokane has a progressive city council. Both of Eastern Washington's congress representatives are Republicans if we do not include my adopted hometown county of Kittitas, Chelan and the East Wenatchee part of Douglas County. This flipped due to population trends in Issaquah, my hometown of Snoqualmie Valley and Auburn however the rest of the district voted for the Republican candidate due to the retirement of Dave Reichert in 2018 and 2020 election cycles. This district was drawn to kept Dave in power. In Anchorage in a recent run off election last month in May and along with the Save Anchorage movement. Anchorage elected Dave Bronson a concerned citizen over an experienced politician by the name of Forrest Dunbar. We need to end or stop national vote by mail as much as we can. Vote by mail is Un-American it goes against people choosing their own people to elect them. Vote by mail benefits special interest not you. Example look at Washington and Oregon you wonder why.
