Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell squashed two bills intended to ensure voting security on Thursday, just one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned that Russians were attempting to sabotage the 2020 presidential elections "as we sit here."
McConnell said he wouldn't allow a vote on the bills because they were "so partisan," but, as previously reported, earlier this year McConnell received a slew of donations from four of the top voting machine lobbyists in the country.
"Clearly this request is not a serious effort to make a law. Clearly something so partisan that it only received one single solitary Republican vote in the House is not going to travel through the Senate by unanimous consent," said McConnell on the Senate floor.
The plans would likely burden the two largest electronic voting machine vendors in the United States, Election Systems & Software and Dominion Voting Systems, with new regulations and financial burdens. Together, the companies make up about 80 percent of all voting machines used in the country and both have far-reaching lobbying arms in Washington D.C. Many of those lobbyists have contributed to the McConnell campaign, reported Sludge last month, an investigative outlet that focuses on money in politics.

Not surprised
Ditch getting re-elected was a total surprise.....
The GOP knows they’ll be as popular of public pay phones if Trump is cheated out of 4 more years. If not for Trump, I would have continued shunning them like a plague.
Mitch isn’t worried. GOP sheeple voters will elect Loeffler and Perdue so he Mitch can keep his power.
GOP rank and file are like abused spouses who keep coming back
Their backgrounds and nontransparent back office dealings are well known, and have been widely discussed in both official public and third-party technical reports. There is a detailed 2010 report floating around on the internet right now, which was provided to NIST in their election security reviews.
If nothing else, all three of these companies have huge red flags surrounding their operations, and we've had a least a full decade to rid them from USA elections.
With the billions that the feds spend every year on software and computer services, why has there not been ANY effort whatsoever to commission an open source, validated, secure and acceptable made-in-USA solution to American elections.
Answer: payoffs, blackmail, and pols like the corruption.
I have a phrase for that.
Battered Voters Syndrome or BVS for short. Republicans get lied to, hoodwinked, robbed, get their teeth knocked out and get stomped into the floor, yet some Republicans keep coming back for more. I find it very odd.

"Before turning to describe briefly these recent developments, we will first bring to your attention to a report issued last week by the US Public Policy Committee of the Association of Computing Machinery, the largest association of computer programmers and specialists. USACM recommends against the use of un-auditable Internet connected voting systems for voted ballots. "
"Dominion, Now the Largest or Second Largest Voting System Company, Is Foreign Controlled and Depends Upon Secret Source Code Created and Owned by Smartmatic, a Foreign Controlled Company With Ties to The Venezuelan Government Led by Hugo Chavez"
Someone should Google the $20m gift Mitch received from his Chinese father-in-law. I’d do it but I already have about a half-dozen times.
Maybe it will be better next time.....but it never is for long.
And I think I learned something lately that it’s not just Democrats who rig the elections. That witnessed today in the Arizona hearings said he thinks that voting machines have been since 2008. That means there are probably a lot of people in office right now who shouldn’t be and Mitch McConnell is probably one of them. I think that man will do anything for Power. And he wants Trump gone because Mitch is in the pocket of China.
The longer they serve the more corrupt they are....Mitch is no different than Biden...just smarter...keeps his mouth shut..
