Republicans in the U.S. Senate mounted an aggressive case Tuesday against Democrats’ sweeping election and voter-access legislation, pushing to roll back proposals for automatic registration, 24-hour ballot drop boxes and other changes in an increasingly charged national debate.

The states control their own voting processes. You think the deep red states are going to let the Feds take over?
Fraud.
No kidding. You read an article like this, where words are purposely formed to twist around the fact that dems want fraud.
Oh, the Dems want to be allowed to offer money bribes? How original.
Sickening bias in the reporting.
They should have reported the Republican votes first. It was actually 9-9.
>> It would remove hurdles to voting erected in the name of election security <<
Election security is RACIST!!
Anything to keep the discussion off the voting machines and software issues...
The access should consist of one vote per legal voter per election, in his own district, under his own name, in person, or one absentee ballot issue for an acceptable reason and verified to be from the voter to whom it was issued. What is unfair about that?
It’s all Progressive projection. 180 degrees opposite of reality.
There ought to be criminal sanctions for gaslighting the public like this.
