Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
People have to start paying a price for spouting this kind of irresponsible rhetoric.

Watch, nobody on the Rat side of the aisle will say a word in opposition to this demagoguery.

Press Release
“This is the fight of our lives. For our climate, our health care, our jobs, our dignity under the law. Our future. We have no choice but to keep going.”
WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Mondaire Jones (D-NY), a leading voice in the fight to protect the right to vote and save American democracy, took to the House floor to outline the path forward in the fight for voting rights after the Senate failed to reform the filibuster to pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.
“Just a few years ago, democracy reform was a pipe dream embraced only by the most committed activists,” said Congressman Jones. “But thanks to an overwhelming groundswell of energy, of movement-building, of organizing, the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act passed the House, and it came just two votes short of passing the Senate. We are not going anywhere. We are more energized than ever to see this through. We must pick up Senate seats this fall to make the filibuster an impossibility.”
Congressman Jones’ full remarks are below as prepared, and video of his speech can be found HERE.
I want to thank my brother and colleague, Congressman Allred, for his leadership in the fight to protect the right to vote and to save our ailing democracy. It has been an honor working with him, with Congresswoman Terri Sewell, and with Congressman John Sarbanes over the past year on both the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.
As you just heard, we are living through the worst assault on the right to vote since Jim Crow. And yesterday, on the Senate floor, white nationalists used the Jim Crow filibuster to block voting rights legislation.

We just had the most secure election in our nations history with the greatest turnout ever, said the DIMS.
So what happened since other than the total failure that is Joey and State Legislators exercising their Constitutional authority to ensure clean voting within their States. -
Democrats lied shocked

Does anyone actually know what voting rights people don’t have that this would fix?
-
Ballot harvesting legal and ID requirements would be illegal. That’s it. This has nothing to do with people being able to vote. It’s legalizing cheating.

CASES!!!! damnit.

Also makes vote by mail legal, and makes it much harder for a state to clean up it's voter rolls. Mail in ballots automatically sent out to every registered voter, even if they aren't requested, using a voter list that may not have been checked for accuracy in years. Felons also are all given the vote.46XiJCAB said:Ballot harvesting legal and ID requirements would be illegal. That’s it. This has nothing to do with people being able to vote.

If a Republican back bencher had made a statement like this on the floor of the House every Republican in a leadership position would be asked if they agreed and then they’d be asked to condemn it.
No way in hell Biden ever gets asked about this, let’s see if Pelosi is asked about it.
If the press treated Rats the way they treat Republicans Biden would be asked if his rhetoric about Bull Conner and Wallace helped to create the “climate of hate” that we’re now seeing on the floor of the House, and the entire Rat leadership would be asked the same question. -
So much for freedom of speech.

If this passed I'm not sure it would withstand legal scrutiny. You have to think red state elections boards would sue. No idea what the Constitution says on voting, but guessing States have some rights.

Proper name for the bill should be "Democrats Right to Cheat".
Look at Pennsylvania Sec. State blocking any audit of the machines..... -

Bill O’Reilly had the former Kansas AG on last night talking about the $400M Zucky Boy poured into the 2020 and how it was utilized. Kobe would approve. And no one in our corrupt media has any interest.
