Fraud is fraud. If it happened it needs to be fixed across the board.

And since it’s not a real problem, don’t “fix” it. Using the big lie to suppress voting is garbage

So you’re saying now that Trumps attempts were trying to steal an election? And you’re mad at both parties for trying to steal an election, albeit the President has a bit more power than the IA02.

I thought Republicans cared about waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars?  Unless, they are talking about Benghazi and "voter fraud"

NOW it's ok to challenge an election?

 Seems BASELESS to me.

And in your screwed up mind it was OK to waste millions on a fake Russia story....but it was a waste of money to hold actual oversight hearings when we had an actual DEAD AMBASSADOR?   Sheeesh man!

We haven’t seen the unredacted Mueller Report. 
 

 

And you can go google Kevin McCarthy admitting the Benghazi investigation was purely political.

If not for the election of Sens. Raphael G. Warnock and Jon Ossoff in Georgia, there would be no Democratic majority in the Senate and likely no covid-19 relief plan (certainly not one amounting to $1.9 trillion). Some, if not many, of President Biden’s nominees would also have been rejected.

We saw during the previous two administrations that when Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is majority leader, a Democratic president may not get an up-or-down vote on a Supreme Court nominee. Bipartisan bills passed by the House — on everything from drug prices to voting reform to protection for “dreamers” — die on his desk. (McConnell’s threat to resort to “scorched earth” tactics if Democrats junk the filibuster might carry more weight if he had not already adopted a scorched-earth approach regardless of which party runs the Senate.)

But Warnock, specifically, does more than add a 50th vote in the Senate for Democrats. He adds moral and intellectual heft to the body. During his maiden speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday, he delivered a devastating indictment of Republican efforts to restrict African Americans’ access to the ballot.

AD

Using the cadence and energy honed as a pastor, he recalled that “just a few months after [Rep. John Lewis’s] death, there are those in the Georgia legislature, some who even dare to praise his name, that are now trying to get rid of Sunday ‘souls to the polls,’ making it a crime for people who pray together to get on a bus together in order to vote together.” He continued, “Make no mistake, this is democracy in reverse. Rather than voters being able to pick the politicians, the politicians are trying to cherry-pick their voters. I say this cannot stand.”

Warnock was unsparing in his description of “Jim Crow in new clothes,” which amounts to “a massive and unabashed assault on voting rights and voter access unlike anything we have seen since the Jim Crow era.” He decried that the win-at-any-cost mentality puts “craven lust for power” ahead of democracy.

The senator made clear that the filibuster, a tool for the minority to thwart the majority, cannot be used to damage fundamental rights such as voting. “It is a contradiction to say we must protect minority rights in the Senate, while refusing to protect minority rights in the society,” he said. “Colleagues, no Senate rule should overrule the integrity of our democracy, and we must find a way to pass voting rights whether we get rid of the filibuster or not.”

Most of the world requries ID to vote. only allows mail in voting for absontee reasons. Third party (super pac) ballot harvesting is illigal in most of the world, should be here as well.  all to protect election integrity.

oh wow... poor one party scared of evil other party op-Ed. Earth shattering. Be scared party x! Party y is coming for your: _________ (insert mind control scare tactic here) 

 

voting rights

gun rights

reproductive rights 

Employment rights 

Citizen rights 

education rights 

Marriage rights  

religious rights

speech rights 

 

scare! fear! cower!
 

Don’t worry tibs no one is stealing your welfare check, the establishment needs your dependence and fear. And it’s pretty telling that your saviors are equating ‘please bring your ID’ to ‘Jim Crow’. They’ve got you right where they want you... hook, line and sinker. 
 

Republicans ‘scorched earth’ ? 😂 . McConnell is an impotent dead man walking just like his whole party.  They can’t win anything because are too dumb to send buses to homeless shelters and elderly homes to harvest votes like their opposition so they play right into their hands trying to restrict the behavior instead. 
 

So one side has all three houses and they are pissing all over divided government which is the only sliver of anything resembling democracy that remains. 
 

Teach your kids to be fluent in Chinese so they can be part of the new world order. The American experiment is dying from two massive parasites.

I’m probably late to this realization but is it common knowledge Mark Zuckerberg donated over $400 million dollars to a handful of “election fairness” independent organizations who in turn  took grant applications from electoral districts to determine who would get the funds?

Geeze Iowa. That’s a double standard.

EVERYONE WANTS IT BUT THE RULING CLASS,      WHICH TELLS YOU SOMETHING: 

 

Voters demand photo ID and reject weak Democratic substitute.

 

An overwhelming majority of people, including Democrats, back a photo identification requirement to vote, a repudiation of Democratic legislation that would let people simply swear they are whom they say they are.

 

As the Senate version, S.B. 1, of the House-approved For the People Act, H.R. 1, was introduced today, a new Rasmussen Reports survey found that 75% of people support photo ID laws, such as those requiring voters to present a valid driver’s license or other government-issued ID to receive a ballot.

 

It has strong support among all partisans, the poll analysis reported.

 

“Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Republicans support voter ID requirements, as do 60% of Democrats and 77% of voters not affiliated with either major party,” it said.

 

 

 

 

 

And yet. . .

I’m not sure why you tagged me, but this game on voting rights is the most political thing ever.
 

Democrats want to be able to harvest votes from the apathetic as well as non citizens that live off of social welfare and wouldn’t otherwise get off their arse to vote, register, get an ID do much of anything really... Republicans know this is like half of the democrats base so they aren’t interested in making harvesting institutionally legal, but admitting that sounds pretty crappy.

 

So dems cry about suppression and republicans cry about fraud.
