— On voting rights, the Democrats are bringing stuffed animals to a machine gun fight.
In July, President Biden called Republican efforts to undercut voting rights across the country a “21st-century Jim Crow assault” and “the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War.”
“We’ll be asking my Republican friends — in Congress, in states, in cities, in counties — to stand up, for God’s sake, and help prevent this concerted effort to undermine our elections and the sacred right to vote,” he said. “Have you no shame?”
So, “asking” was the plan for the party holding the presidency and both houses of Congress, albeit narrowly, in response to a Republican assault on voting and civil rights?
That certainly seemed to be the battle strategy of Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.), who had one job: persuading 10 Republicans to get behind a compromise Freedom to Vote Act that would have expanded vote by mail, made Election Day a holiday and established automatic voter registration.
Predictably, not a single Republican could be persuaded to even allow Manchin’s plan to come to a vote.
Forget failing to stand up. Republicans are on their feet and gleefully marching the country backward on voting rights. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, this year 19 states have passed some 33 pieces of legislation making it harder to vote.

Why? I mean, other than that it gets you around ID laws.
2020 was deemed the most secure election in history. FACT.
[It was our nation's and democracy's bright shining moment during the pandemic, which should have been celebrated by all, not poisoned by Trump and your morally corrupt ilk.]
Only the Earth II inhabitants and dishonest GOP elected officials/state legislators have stirred the false narrative (via non-stop repetition) that changes were needed to be made to protect "voter integrity" - the dog whistle for voter suppression.
The GOP does not want heavy voter turnout. They have openly admitted that building obstacle courses for voters gives the GOP a "competitive advantage." Allowing GOP partisans to count the votes gives them the "fix" to overturn a close vote count.
One time Baron: Think about putting country above party. Just once.
that they were i stitued for COVID and are not “ a right”. Thus, your claim is spurious and deceitful as always.
