That bill protects the voting rights of the dead, illegal aliens, and people too lazy to get up off the couch and go to a polling place.

effectively killing her party’s hope of passing the most sweeping voting rights protections in a generation.

Election fraud enabling would be more accurate.

Yes. It says the same minorities who can get a drivers license or show ID to get into a bar, are too stupid to bring it with them to vote? How insulting! They should be rioting against the insufferable patronizing Democraps who ALWAYS assume minorities are stupid, helpless babies. Why do minorities keep voting these people in?

Greatest Democrat Senator Ever.

[Hildy]

We allow them to call it voting rights protection which it is anything but.

OH. MY.

This brings up an interesting conundrum. 48 Democrat Senators do support ending the filibuster. How will they fair in the next election?

I think the same thing. It's pandering and insulting in the highest degree. And it astounds me that anyone would accept that characterization of any group they belonged to.

Eligible people of all racial, educational, and financial levels (including minorities) can and do get ID's and open financial accounts for any number of other things. There is no worldly reason (barring natural disaster or personal hardship; i.e. an incapacitating health condition; etc.) for any eligible American not to be able to vote. The only people I know who don't vote are the ones too lazy to get out there and do it.
