The White House wants to mark the new year with a forceful push for voting rights, portraying the protection of the ballot as a battle for democracy itself. But despite a renewed emphasis from an increasingly impatient and frustrated base, prospects for legislative success still look grim.
West Wing aides believe that fresh federal efforts to defend the ballot and install safeguards ahead of the midterm elections are likely to be dashed by some Democrats’ resistance to changing the Senate filibuster, a reluctance spearheaded by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.).
The White House has been considering connecting the voting rights drive with the upcoming first anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, making the case that the most sacred tenant of America’s democracy remains under siege one year after the insurrection fueled by the election fraud lies told by former President Donald Trump.

It seems like one party is always on offense and the other party is always on defense. The Republican party needs to start acting like General George S. Patton.

They might change the rules to pass the legislation with 51 votes for one-time only.
I think this is their dastardly plan and would need Manchin to agree to it

Voting is not the most sacred tenet of this Republic, it is what is written in the Constitution.

They only won 2020 with the cheat-by-mail-in ballots that were allowed by RINO-controlled state legislatures, and the entire reason for those ballots was because of the scamdemic claim that people would be risking their lives just by standing in line to vote.
Even the sheeple are now starting to see this, and they won't be able to duplicate that for 2022. Yes, panic is setting in because they can only win elections when they cheat, and the VA election results are a taste of what is headed their way on a national level.
Don't put any faith in Manchin. He is a snake. He makes a lot of noise, then at the end of the day does what is best for Manchin. He voted for Kavanaugh's confirmation because it happened just before his 2018 re-election bid. He then voted to impeach Trump (both times) once he was safely re-elected.

“Reforms” Like mandatory voter ID?
Biden wants to turn the U.S.A. into a Communist type country.
If he does this it means that he actually stole the presidential election of 2020.
Voting rights and literally give out all the freebies to the people and this should crumble the U.S. budget.
Obama is up in the White House and these were his intentions when he got elected.
Also, do away with illegal immigration just give illegals $450,000.00 and let them live here in the U.S.A.

Everything about Biden and the Democrat party is duplicitous. Consider the "infrastructure" bill. It's all about funding teachers with "pre-k" programs, paid daycare, child tax credits, "global warming", paying off "journalists" in small town newspapers, etc. etc.
When the Democrats say "voting rights" they mean the exact opposite. What the actually mean is "disenfranchise legitimate voters". We were all disenfranchised in 2020. Nothing short of a Bunker Hill will reverse this trend.

Yeah the whole thing is unconstitutional isnt it ?
Supremes could have a say about federalizing elections.
But by then it’s too late if this is really their plan.

Not just Manchin.

*****West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin appears to be done with the badgering and pressure over the Build Back Better legislation.

Politico reports the discussions between Senator Manchin and the White House are at a stalemate, with the White House saying “things are going poorly.”
Meanwhile, the New York Post is reporting that Manchin finally exploded on communist stenographers who have been continually hounding him for the past two months.
Senator Joe Manchin on Wednesday angrily shouted at reporters to go away — telling one, “You are bulls–t!” and “I’m done!” after he was peppered with questions about his reluctance to support President Biden’s mammoth social spending bill.
“I’m not negotiating with any of you, OK?” the West Virginia Democrat said as reporters followed him around Capitol Hill.
Eventually Manchin added, raising his voice: “You guys, let me go. This is bulls–t. You are bulls–t! OK? I’m done! I’m done! God Almighty.” (link)
The communist guerillas never relent, they just modify their attack angles to keep pushing forward.
With the Build Back Broke bill unlikely to have enough support prior to the Christmas recess, the communists are trying to shift the focus to the federal takeover of elections. However, on the election bill Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema will not support removing the Senate filibuster.
(Politico) Kyrsten Sinema supports the elections reform bill that Democrats are considering a year-end push to pass. She doesn’t support a shortcut around the filibuster to get it done.
The Arizona moderate is making clear that she intends to keep protecting the Senate’s 60-vote requirement on most legislation and she isn’t ready to entertain changing rules to pass sweeping elections or voting legislation with a simple majority. Her Democratic colleagues have been discussing those revisions as they weigh dropping their focus on President Joe Biden’s $1.7 trillion climate and social spending bill and pivoting to voting rights, though it’s not clear that avenue will be any more successful. (read more)
One of the issues working against the interests of the communists is the lack of support for Dear Leader. A new media poll from CNN released today shows that 66 percent of the American electorate do not trust Joe Biden. [pdf Question 4] It’s not only that American voters don’t like him and do not think he is competent to do the job, a full two-thirds of the American electorate do not trust him.

With no trust, no support and a large number of the American electorate recognizing that Joe Biden is only making things worse. Well, there’s no pressure on Senator Joe Manchin or Senator Kyrsten Sinema to grab a seat on the sinking ship.

Manchine is a snake in the tall grass.
I agree with ya that Manchin is up for re-election and he should not even be senator.
The folks in WV should fire this guy as their DemonRat senator.

Voting rights include the right to not have your vote cancelled out by fraudulent ballots.
Somehow, I don’t think this is what Xo Xidung is planning for.

Trump needs to get involved with endorsing a republican challenger.
