TOPLINE Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Thursday shot down the idea of creating a carve-out to the Senate filibuster for voting rights bills after a meeting with Democratic state lawmakers from Texas who are in Washington, D.C., to protest a voting restrictions bill in their state, effectively killing a proposal that has gained steam among even some Democratic leaders in recent weeks.

I couldn’t learn how he decided to dump the filibuster for a federal voting hack bill after meeting with people in favor of vote hacking.

Anyone with common sense knows that when the “Progressives” implement their policies, they will have to “Fortify” elections to make it more difficult to vote them out.

Forbes is full of $hit! The bill DOES NOT restrict voting, it actually increases the amount of time allowed for early voting and increases the number of boxes available for mail in ballot drop off.
The problem the Democrats have is that it requires mail in ballots to include proof of identity! The left is upset because it makes vote fraud a little more difficult!

At least for now, but I never trust Manchin at keeping his word for more than a day.

Maybe Manchin has seen the ghost of Harry Reid.
