For Other Purposes

To expand Americans' access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, and strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and for other purposes. [More]

I wonder what those could be...?

Cut to the chase?

(4) The Supreme Court’s 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision gutted decades-long Federal protections for communities of color that face historic and continuing discrimination, emboldening States and local jurisdictions to pass voter suppression laws and implement procedures, such as those requiring photo identification, limiting early voting hours, eliminating same-day registration, purging voters from the rolls, and reducing the number of polling places. Congress is committed to reversing the devastating impact of this decision.

Besides, a "sworn statement" should be more than enough verification. Just look at the oaths our politicians have taken!

Also, Michael G sends this summary:

Democrats introduce their first bill in the House: H.R.1 - The bill that will destroy America. Nationwide mail-in voting, banning restrictions on ballot harvesting, banning voter ID, criminal voters,DC Statehood roadwork, it's all in here.

It seems as though naming bills actually does reveal their true purpose. Just assume that the intended result is the exact opposite of the bill's name. A great example was the "Patriot Act", which was about as unpatriotic as it gets.

This one is named, "For the People" act, and claims it will "...expand Americans' access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, and strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and for other purposes." It's "other purpose" is to permanently enshrine all of the mechanisms that the Dem-wing used in the 2020 elections for blatant fraud.

Calling in the "Permanent Vote Fraud" act is probably somewhat more accurate, but only slightly less likely to pass.
