Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer likened basic election integrity measures such as voter ID to the Jim Crow era, accusing the GOP of attempting to suppress voters.
Schumer blasted Republican state legislatures for pursuing basic election integrity measures, calling it “infuriating” and accusing Republicans of being “afraid” of democracy and trying to prevent people from voting.
“Some of these voter suppression laws in Georgia and other Republican states smack of Jim Crow rearing its ugly head once again. It is 160 years since the 13, 14, and 15th amendments abolished slavery, and Jim Crow stills seems to be with us,” the New York progressive said.
“The laws, their various cousins in Republican state legislatures across the country, are one of the greatest threats we have to modern democracy in America,” Schumer declared before citing the Washington Post:
According to the Washington Post, these laws could strain every available method of voting for tens of millions of Americans. If one political party believes that when you lose an election the answer isn’t to win more votes but rather to try and prevent the other side from voting, we have an existential threat to democracy. If we don’t stop these vicious and often racist actions, third-world autocracy … will be on its way. That is why the country so badly needs S 1, a bill that would combat all of these voter suppression efforts. A bill that would make it easier, not harder, to vote by automatically registering American voters when they get a driver’s license. By guaranteeing at least 15 continuous days of early voting. A bill that would limit dark money and corruption in our politics and much more.

We are witnessing pure, distilled evil.
Non-citizen voting is what this is all about.
The devil truly has the people by the throat.
I will be banned and visited for what I think and expressed it.
Not well.
Jim Crow, Jim Crow... That was installed by Democrats, no?
We are witnessing pure, distilled evil.

King Cuomo is a serial killer
It’s time to dismantle the federal power structure and return power to the people and the states.
Wouldn’t we be far better off without New York (excepting Upstate, Staten Island and part of Long Island) and California (excepting farm and mountain counties)? Let Schumer become king of his own small bicoastal country and he and his acolytes can do whatever they want.
Someone should ask ChuckU about the Ranked Choice Voting provisions in HR1.
They’re in there for a reason, aren’t they, ChuckU...
And it’s not to ensure we can restore our republic using the ballot box.
This Upstater thanks you for the exception!
I guess we could concede Zug Island or the salt mines to Wretched Hitler aka the Killer Queen here in Michigan.
Oh wait, Chuck the Shmuck Schumer supports all of those laws.
Sorry Chuckie, we don’t want democracy in America, we want America to stay a Constitutional Republic.
How?
Watering the tree?
And Republicans hide under their desks while he spews this crap. They pass this H1 garbage it will be a license for tyranny, it will be the death of this country and I will blame Republicans 100% for allowing these domestic enemies to succeed
Wow, this guy is a real POS.
It’s left to the states in the Constitution.
Democrat party ‘One of the Greatest Threats We Have to Modern Democracy in America’
fact check completed
Schumer has no idea what a republic is. That, or he does now and he is viscerally anti-republic, and thus he is anti-USA.
