Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) quashed two election integrity bills in July last year after receiving thousands in donations from Dominion lobbyists.
In July, McConnell blocked two bills, one that would provide $775 million to “bolster election security,” along with requiring a physical paper trail of every single ballot cast in the country, and a second that would mandate political candidates, their staff members, and their families, to notify the FBI if any foreign government offered to assist them.
“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, as he refused to allow the bills to be put to a vote.
However, within the previous year, multiple lobbyists representing Dominion Voting Systems and Election Systems and Software, who together make up around 80% of all voting machines in the country, donated thousands of dollars to the McConnell campaign.
David Cohen and Brian Wild, both of lobbyist Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, who lobbied for Dominion in 2019, donated $2,000 and $1,000 respectively to the McConnell campaign funds. And around the same time, Emily Kirlin and Jen Olson, who have lobbied for ES&S, also donated $1,000 each.
Interestingly, these donations occurred throughout March of 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic first reached the United States and mail-in voting became an almost certainty for the 2020 election.
McConnell on Tuesday praised the processes and outcome of the presidential election, and appeared to align himself with Vice President Biden. “Americans voted in this year’s general election. Legal and Constitutional processes have continued to play out since then,” McConnell said.

I hope the airfield at Gitmo can handle a Super Galaxy. That’s what it’s gonna take to transport all the corrupt politicians.
Folks...2020 has been an eye opener for me!
#WalkAway.....from the GOP! Time for a REAL American Party! the sooner we start the sooner we can save the country before its toooo late!!!!!
Indict the old bastard.
If the population of the US knew just how much corruption there was in Washington DC, 95% of all the politicians would be dragged from their offices and thrown into the streets.
The CEO appeared credible, confident and responsive. Still he could have been lying.
Any successful con man is a good liar.
The world is full of good liars.
“If you like your doctor, you can keep him”
If you like your insurance, you can keep it”
“You will save $2,500 a year on insurance”
“Contribute money to my campaign so I can end Obama Care”.
That last one was used by the repubs for years and raised millions before we realized obummer care was the best thing that ever happened to the GOP-e.
The tech people who examined the MI machines found that the machines connected to outside systems which are not yet identified. Page 4, paragraph 20.
OUR COUNTRY IS OVER!! DONE!
Did we hear about this crap before now and ignore it? I want to cry.
I always wondered why McConnell sat on 3 or 4 election security bills in the Senate, and never even allowed a DEBATE, much less a vote.
Now we know.
The GOP must either be taken over by patriots, or be put out of its misery, and replaced by a new party, headed by PDJT.
Thousands are peanuts. These grifters are only bought with millions. There is an art to keeping this corruption hidden from the public. With decades in Congress there are many master craftsmen.
Gosh, news that shows McConnell dumped good changes that would make elections in our country more secure and harder to fake for 30 pieces of silver from the very entity that makes that cheating voting machine is heart breaking.
Other than confirming a lot of judges that we hope will follow the constitution it seems McConnell is a snake.
Have you ever seen The Sting?
Maybe these acts were a necessary part of giving them all the rope “they” need to hang themselves with?
The hunters became the hunted and then became the caught in the trap?
POS POS POS TURTLE _ WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ANYONE ONE AGAIN UNLESS endorse (truly by TRUMP) - BUT I will FIGHT for ....until my dying days!
I’m sorry. I just don’t like this guy.
IF DJT envokes the EO regarding foreign interference in the election (Dominion and the Chi-coms) will Mitch should be taken down with the rest of the enablers (if it can be proven).

“OUR COUNTRY IS OVER!! DONE!”
Sheesh. Trump is fighting for us. Pray for him, daily, hourly.
Only one Pubbie Rep voted for it??? Were they all paid by Dominion lobbyists too?
“...after receiving thousands in donations from Dominion lobbyists.“
Why in the WORLD is this NOT considered a BRIBE???
It’s. VOTING machine corporation...
No, it was just the MI judiciary committee (i think) and the Dominion CEO.
That one republican should call for an investigation
