Democrats expected to bring voting rights protections bill to Senate

[T. A. Gardner]

And...

The thread is dead and the Left lost! Yea me!

Your assumption was stupid. Why oppose securing voting rights if you believe in voting rights? Too complex for you, troll?

Where did I say I opposed voting rights?
Still haven’t answered a simple question: Who doesn’t have the right to vote? I know there are many in the country that don’t. So who is it that doesn’t have that right?
You either don’t know the answer or it’s too uncomfortable for you to answer because the correct answer doesn’t correlate with your objective.

The bill is now called the Freedom to Vote Act and is supported by all 50 Democrats including the moderate Joe Manchin, who wrote an oped opposing the original bill last year.

The bill will likely be filibustered once again. But Schumer is entering the new year swinging, signalling that he will open a debate about changing filibuster rules.

Congress does not have authority to change the Constitution.

Democrats bid to change Senate rules if Republicans thwart voting rights reform

Democrats are seizing on this week’s anniversary of the deadly US Capitol riot to renew a push for voting rights legislation to safeguard democracy.

Majority leader Chuck Schumer announced on Monday that the Senate will vote on changing its own rules on or before 17 January, the federal Martin Luther King Jr Day holiday, if Republicans continue to obstruct election reform.

[BidenPresident]

“Let me be clear,” the New York senator wrote. “6 January was a symptom of a broader illness – an effort to delegitimise our election process, and the Senate must advance systemic democracy reforms to repair our republic or else the events of that day will not be an aberration – they will be the new norm.

“Much like the violent insurrectionists who stormed the US Capitol nearly one year ago, Republican officials in states across the country have seized on the former president’s Big Lie about widespread voter fraud to enact anti-democratic legislation and seize control of typically non-partisan election administration functions.”

No assumption made. But I am curious as to what assumption you mistakenly think I made.

Why oppose securing voting rights if you believe in voting rights?

Where did I say I opposed voting rights for those who qualify?

Oh, so you're good with:

Ballot harvesting
All mail-in balloting
Online voting
No voter ID requirements
Letting illegal and legal foreign nationals register to vote
Letting 16 and 17 year-olds register to vote
Never purging or cleaning up voter registration rolls
Having elections that amount to voting seasons over a month or more long
Making it all but impossible to prosecute anyone for any sort of voter fraud

And that's just some of the shit in the Fuck the Voters act--which you haven't even bothered to read.

You have a couple of problems there, first, it was the GOP who refused allocating funds to guarantee election security back in 2019, and, second, none, zero, zilch of any of that has ever been proven of having any effect on any election anywhere anytime

Let us all vote. Agree with that.

 

[anonymoose]

Let us all vote. Agree with that.

And that's the problem. HR1 is meant to give voting rights to anybody, non-citizens, the underaged, no verification of identity. Just "anybody that wants to vote."

 

[BidenPresident]

And that's the problem. HR1 is meant to give voting rights to anybody, non-citizens, the underaged, no verification of identity. Just "anybody that want's to vote."

Sounds good.

 

[Earl]

Can't honestly answer that hum, or is it you won't? All the insults you throw won't get you out of the corner you painted yourself into. HR 1 is an abomination of a bill that will truly Fuck the Voters of America.

Indeed.

Each state is responsible for this, not Congress, not the federal government. That's how our laws are set up. Most GOP states provided more election integrity and security than did many blue states where the rules were twisted into a pretzel to allow all sorts of new and unvetted voting to occur.

The Democrats tried to sneak in illegals voting in the BBB Bill...it failed.

 

[Into the Night]

Indeed.

It is also unconstitutional.

You are correct. The Constitution very clearly sets out the election process. Congress has no authority to change it.

Congress does have a constitutional right to set standards but most of that process is left up to the states. See Article I section 4.

Questionable, and if GOP States provide more election integrity and security why then did Trump and the right question and challenge in just about every means possible the results in GOP States?

Because Trump is an obstinate troll. Al Gore rolled over because he's a pansy Leftist...
