Sen. Joe Manchin on Tuesday said he will support a Democratic show-vote on an election reform bill after getting fellow Democrats including Stacey Abrams to voice support for voter ID rules that they had previously denounced as racist.
The vote will fail and a final bill wasn’t even drafted ahead of a doomed 5 p.m. motion to invoke cloture, which requires 60 senators to agree to proceed.
Democrats hold just 50 seats and the only major unknown was whether they would stick together in the base-rallying gesture designed to show pushback on Republican state election reforms that President Biden claims amount to “Jim Crow in the 21st Century.”

They’re now agreeing to I.D. Better check the fine print on that b.s. It’s a trap.

The hub includes permitting illegals to vote, or so I read
No one is surprised that Manchin caved again... as usual. Just an attention prostitute.
Heh “caved”.
The only question ever was:
and there will be no voter ID in the final bill.
So was it a live girl, or a dead boy?
Manchin is a blow-hard phony just like all other Commie Rats. The people of WV should have voted that creep out of office.
This “F___ the People” bill needs to die and die hard.
Media presents... Kabuki!
I think that our Republic can recover, even after the trillions of dollars of giveaways a.k.a. Dem vote buying schemes, but we cannot overcome what is in HR one. If that election fraud allowing bill becomes a law, the republic is over.
Doesn’t matter. Bill is DOA.
That voter ID includes utility bills, not photo ID. It’s a joke....reject it.
Manchin did not announce until writing was on the wall, so his vote meant nothing. He can vote with his party. Who cares. He would have been the only D to side with Rs. Ditto Sinema.
It neuters upcoming attacks on him..and her.
Manchin is the Lindsay Graham of the Democrat Party.
Well that’s good. Hope you’re right.
Tell us about Manchin’s daughter.
perfect description
Clay Travis today explained on Rush’s old show why he was happy to retire from lawyering, because he was obligated and paid to argue their clients case, no matter right or wrong. Now, he gets to choose right or wrong.
It struck me then that politicians are not moral crusaders, but paid to argue/promote democratic causes. It’s understood: support us and we’ll pay you.
Most pols are paid shills...as unpopular with recent public opinion polls as lawyers and media.
Lawyers, politicians, media...drown them all at the bottom of a lake.
