Make this make sense:

1. 85% of Americans (eg, the majority both sides) want a voter ID requirement

2. this would make it one of the most popular policies of all time

3. yet, while controlling Congress, republicans haven't passed any law to enact this requirement

The SAVE Act would accomplish this, and it's passed the house but stalled in the senate for months

This is an absurdity that can only really be explained by massive incompetence or an incentive to cheat.

I'm not sure which it is

This is about as worthless a Republican Senate as I’ve ever seen.

The people who vote are in favor of it.

The people who give to war chests are not.

Prove me wrong.

Iowa’s two Republican Senators and Rand Paul were getting Beaucoup bucks from Maduro and Smartmatic. Why risk the cash flow?

Things are the way they because the people with the power to make changes like things the way they are.

Axiomatic.

No we don't...
Remove the filibuster and do it, which Schumer tied to do and would have done if not for Sinema and Manchin.

Paxton beating Cornyn in the primary will do wonders to get these cuck’s minds right.

Yep. What I read today was encouraging, if only slightly.
Early numbers don’t mean squat, though.

Personally, I love the idea,
but I think it would require an amendment to the constitution,
which has a slim-to-none chance of happening.

No need to amend Constitution.
Just remove filibuster which is NOT in the Constitution anyway.

Uniparty composed of DemonRats and RepubliCants don’t want to change the status quo. They are traitors. I hate them.

Crooked, wicked, compromised, corrupt.

Water the Tree.
