Civil Rights Leaders to Joe Manchin on Election Takeover Bill: ‘All Americans’ Must ‘Have Meaningful Access to Ballot’

Civil rights leaders spoke to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) Tuesday about the For the People Act to federalize local elections, urging Congress to “act so all Americans have meaningful access to the ballot.”

“The leaders also conveyed to Senator Manchin that a minority of senators must not be able to abuse the filibuster to impede much needed progress. Congress must act so all Americans have meaningful access to the ballot,” the NAACP President Derrick Johnson, National Urban League President Marc Morial, and Reverend Al Sharpton said after the meeting.

The meeting comes as President Joe Biden is presumably attempting to change Manchin’s mind on supporting the federal government taking over elections away from local counties.

So it’s not enough for all qualified Americans to have easy voting access, but the access must also be “meaningful.” ...whatever the heck that means. They of course never define it.

And, as many ballots as they ask for, no questions permitted.

If this Arizona audit ends the way I expect, people aren’t going to trust the Dems idea of voting for long.

What bothers me is the barrels of lies this administration deals in.

It is a fact that no one is denied a ballot. Period. To say otherwise is to undermine our democracy.

No one is prevented from voting. Period.

Sounds familiar, along with “pay their fair share,” “gun control,” “disenfranchised,” and a host of others.

Conflation:

Illegal alien includes immigrant or migrant.

“All Americans” includes non citizens and fraudulent voters.

Manchin is a snake.
Please do not call him a “hero” until he makes good on his promises.

Meaningful access seems to be some combination of dead people voting, chosen people voting multiple times, illegal immigrants voting, foreign nationals voting, or at least helping to distort the vote count with their fancy algorithms.

It’s a very long synonym for fraud.
