ND HCR3047

Urges Congress not to adopt H.R. 1 of the 117th Congress, which the resolution characterizes as a sweeping federal bill that would usurp state power over election administration.

Asserts that Section 4 of Article I of the U.S. Constitution grants each state's legislature authority to prescribe the times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, which Congress should only supersede in extraordinary circumstances.

Contends that forcing new federal standards, procedures, and expectations onto state election systems would create chaos and undermine public trust in election results.

Affirms North Dakota's election system as a model that has ensured voter confidence, with voter fraud and voter suppression being exceedingly rare.

Directs the Secretary of State to forward copies of this resolution to each member of the North Dakota Congressional Delegation.
