Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Republican legislatures and governors were trying “to deny people of color, young people, poor people the right to vote.”
Anchor Dana Bash said, “Let’s turn to voting rights. The Senate will vote on Tuesday on a sweeping bill that will most certainly be blocked by Republicans. Senator Joe Manchin is propose ing a narrower plan, which still seems to have a lot in it for Democrats. There are things like a ban on partisan gerrymandering, restoring key parts of the Voting Rights Act. Stacey Abrams says she can absolutely support this proposal. Do you?”
Sanders said, “Dana, you said there seems to be a lot in it for Democrats. That’s not the way I look at it. What we are trying to do is preserve democracy. And what Republican legislatures and governors are doing in the most disgraceful way imaginable is to try to deny people of color, young people, poor people the right to vote — people with disabilities. That is outrageous.”
He continued, “We can disagree on all kinds of issues, taking away the right of people to participate in American democracy as you know acceptable, and Congress must address that in any and every way. Also, in my view, we had a deal with doc money in politics, the power of billionaires to buy election we got to deal with gerrymandering. I will go as far as I possible to can to create a vibrant democracy in America and take on those Republicans who are trying to undermine democracy.”
Sanders added, “I’m open to doing everything I possibly can to protect American democracy. Let me tell you something. This is an enormously serious issue.”

And it’s Bernie for the Race Baiting Rhetoric!
How so. By not allowing mail in ballots. That dems use to steal elections. They steal their votes.
He’s just doing what the left does best. Lie.
One legal US citizen, one vote with proper ID.
Not voting with the last apt. resident’s absentee ballot, not using three phony names, not vote by mail and then show up to yell at them if they refuse you a second vote in person.
And a person of color who rented a UHaul, started a prescription file at a pharmacy or got a test or procedure at a hospital, can somehow find their legal ID to vote with it.
Their side is dishonest. Not ours.
Sanders is a disease that has to be cured, along with the voters who put him in office more than once in Vermont.
Bernie Sanders wants convicted terrorists, serial killers, and rapists rotting in prison to be able to vote for him.
Ignore this naked Communist who went to the Soviet Union to have his honeymoon.
Many black votes for Trump were cancelled out by your treasonous friends, Bernie, you demented race war fomenting jackass!
Amazing how their vote reform always makes elections easier to steal. Not letting RATs steal must be Raaaaacist.
“Bernie Sanders: Republicans Are Trying to Deny People of Color the Right to Vote”
The one thing Democrats and Socialists are good at is lying and mislabeling bills they pass.
No Person shall be required to provide any greater proof of Identification to any Federal Agency, then that which is Necessary to Vote in a Public Election.
So says the man from a state where less than 1.5% of the population are Black.
A necropsy of Bernie’s brain will be very interesting.
I am sure he is missing some off ramps.
Don’t look now, Bernie, but some of your progressive pals have given up that ‘No Voter ID’ fight.
Ask Stacey Abrams what she thinks about it (this week).
Keep ‘em down Bernie! Keep telling them they’re not smart enough to identify themselves..
That old geezer bernie is still in office is a testament to the lowbrow citizens that vote for him, election after election.
They are still running with this debunked fable.
Democrats are trying to steal every election.
Republicans don’t call them out, they let their lies flourish.
Turn the record over.
TRUE, we are denying certain people the right to vote
THREE TIMES EACH.
That just ain’t right, Bernie.
On a side note, I see that Manchain believe we should have vote ID. We are better keep our eye out on want people can use to get a voter ID. ie. Using a driver’s license.
