Dems accelerate election security push after Trump comments (the Russians are coming - again)
AP News ^ | 6/14/19 | MARY CLARE JALONICK, LISA MASCARO

**SNIP**

Lawmakers had already been compiling a fresh package of bills in the aftermath of special counsel Robert Mueller's findings in the Trump-Russia probe. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Democrats are now pushing ahead with votes because it's part of "what the American people elected us to do."

**SNIP**

Even though the nation’s intelligence agencies said from early 2017 that it was clear Russia tried to influence the 2016 election in favor of Trump, Republicans who led both chambers did not move comprehensive legislation to address the issue. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has declined to hold a vote on a Senate election security bill that has bipartisan support.

**SNIP**

Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md., among those leading the effort, said Trump’s attitude toward foreign interference was “breathtaking” and, he believes, the president is taking the country in the “opposite direction of where the public wants to go, which is to feel more confident, not less confident” in the vote.

“People should be concerned that we’re going to see another round of attempts to attack our democracy of the kind we saw in ’16,” Sarbanes said in an interview. He said special counsel Mueller’s report, which extensively detailed the Russian interference, flashed a “neon sign” that Russia was “coming again.”

As long as Chinese support is allowed to continue the politicians will support the bill.

Trump is setting a trap. The Demonrats can’t fund a dossier from a foreign agent like The PIAPS did. The whole “Steel Dossier” used to push Russian Collusion is now something the very people that used it say is unethical. He has set The PIAPS up as unethical using sitting members of congress’ own word

PDJT has cut their feet out from under the demonrats.

The Russians betrayed the democrat party and demRATs will never get over it.

If he was setting a trap, he would not have backtracked and said that he would have contacted and informed the FBI to get them involved. He knows it's not thier job

"Just a happy little accident!"

Impose voter ID by executive order. After all, we don’t know how may Russians have infiltrated our porous borders in order to cast fraudulent votes in our elections. Only Russian collaborators would oppose voter ID to protect the integrity of our electoral system.

Hey let’s make sure only US CITIZENS are allowed to vote by making it necessary to show ID. Otherwise foreigners could interfere with our elections!
