Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday stepped up efforts to squeeze Republicans ahead of a key test vote on a sweeping election reform bill, railing against new voting rules in GOP-led states and former President Trump’s efforts to cast doubt on the election.
Schumer, speaking from the Senate floor, tied Tuesday’s test vote to Trump’s false claims that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen,” even though his legal team lost dozens of legal challenges and election experts dismissed claims of widespread voter fraud.
“He lied over and over and over again ... poisoning our democracy, lighting a fire between Republican state legislatures who immediately launched the most sweeping voter suppression effort in at least 80 years. Just a note, how despicable a man is Donald Trump?” Schumer asked.
“He lost an election legitimately. He can’t face that, that it was his failure and he creates a lie, a big lie,” Schumer added.
Schumer then read some of the ideas that have been introduced, debated and in some cases passed in GOP-controlled state legislatures including limiting mail-in voting, access to drop boxes and more stringent voter ID requirements.
Republicans have defended the laws by noting that states expanded access last year during the coronavirus pandemic and are now rolling that back as the country moves out of the pandemic.
“Does that sound like Jim Crow, my Republican colleagues? It sure does to a lot of us,” Schumer said.
“The big lie that started with Donald Trump is infecting them,” Schumer added about GOP senators.
The Senate will hold a vote Tuesday on whether to advance the For the People Act, a sweeping bill that in addition to setting national voting standards also changes the composition of the Federal Election Commission, overhauls campaign finance, places new rules on congressional redistricting and new ethics guidelines for presidents and vice presidents.
The bill will fail to get the 60 votes needed to overcome a legislative filibuster, with Republicans lined up in unified opposition to the legislation.
“They made it abundantly clear that the real driving force behind S. 1 is the desire to rig the rules of the American elections permanently. ... That's why the Senate will give this disastrous proposal no quarter,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Monday about the Democratic bill.
But Schumer argued Monday that the vote was not about the For the People Act but instead about whether the chamber should debate voting rights at all.
“It’s a vote on whether the Senate should simply debate the issue about voting rights,” he said.
Take a gander in the nearest mirror, you old Commie. That thing you’ll see staring back at you is the epitome of despicable.
One thing we can be sure of is that President Trump
is not any where near as despicable as Chuck and Nancy.
Schumer wishes he was half the man Trump is.
What a putz head, that chuck schumer
Add this Amendment to it:
No person shall be required to provide ANY Public Employee any greater proof of Identification then that which is necessary to Register to Vote or Cast a Vote in a Public Election
Keep spreading the solid evidence of fraud throughout the land. Ignore the personal attacks — their strategy is to make this about Trump rather than about fraud.

Cryin’ Chuck.
His days are numbered, and he knows it.
Fun to watch him flailing away.
I ‘m going to enjoy his descent.
Shut up Schumer.
You’re nothing but a white male blowhard
Our government is a cartoon. There isn’t a serious discussion on anything, except how long the GOP will drag their feet before we descend in total tyranny.
If Schumer doesn’t like someone they must be doing something right.
He may have been born Jewish, but he hates the Torah. He’s a delusional self contradiction. Please pray for him. If he wakes up before it’s too late he might have time to repair some of the damage he has inflicted upon the world. Regarding Schumer and all errant Jews the laws of Pikuach Nefesh require us to care for them and do what we can to save their souls.
This is what total panic looks like..they know the truth is coming out and they are terrified
“...Man, I have a special hatred for that bastard, schumer...”
I have a feeling you’d have to take a number and get in line....LOL.
That is a sick sociopathic demon .
Thats a man baby .
