Senators announce bipartisan bills to stop candidates from stealing elections

The bills seek to close loopholes in election law that then-President Donald Trump and his allies tried to exploit to keep him in power despite his defeat in the 2020 election. The first bill would clarify the vice president's role in counting Electoral College votes, raise the bar for members of Congress to object, and try to prevent fake slates of electors from interfering in the process. The second is aimed at protecting election workers.

Here it is, an admission that President Trump's administration did not do anything illegal in the aftermath of the 2020 Deep State election steal.

The second part is a trojan horse intended to prevent challengers at polling stations and poll watchers. Force the windows closed and block out the sunshine so the steal is easier.

Protect the Steals Bill

[Lazamataz]

After months of negotiating, a group of senators announced two proposals Wednesday designed to close gaps in federal law and prevent future candidates from stealing elections.

REALLY! Wonderful.

I cannot wait to see the text of the bill, which should be banning Vote By Mail, making Ballot Harvesting a Federal Crime, and making voting-machine software publically available, from the machine itself, on the dates of the voting! Additionally, it should contain text that makes a voter affirmatively assert (via internet or phone call) that they did, in fact, vote ... so that those who do not vote don't get people voting 'for them'.

Exactly. Too bad the Democrats Cheney and Kinzinger won't bring up that small point.

Protect the Selection and Keep Elections From Elected Bill

[Williams]

This is a horrible bill, helping mail in voting and federalizing elections.

Republicans are such worthless idiots.

The Republicans just put the “Kick Me” signs back on their own backs

“Protect the Steals Bill”

Best name I have seen for not only this bill but several others put forward over the past year.
Protect the Steals Bill 1
Protect the Steals Bill 2
Protect the Steals Bill 3
and so forth.

The second is aimed at protecting election workers.

Let me guess, you can no longer video tape them pulling out luggage full of bogus ballots from under tables? You can't question them when they kick all the republican poll watchers out and stop the count? You can't video when they're unloading boxes from cars rolling up to the back door in the wee hours of the morning with trunks full of ballots?

Didn’t realize so many Bill had been brought into being by our criminal congresscritters. Thanks for the information

[cuz1961]

Wow.

Constitutional fact labeled

Loop Hole.

What’s next ? Get rid of the free speech loop hole ?

Right to bear loophole ?

Right to privacy loophole ?

This will set precedent that the entire bill of rights are “ loop holes “.

[cuz1961]

Dont like any part of the constitution ?

Just call it a loophole and close it.

I loath these traitors .

[elpadre]

They need to build in time for investigating valid election fraud complaints.

[wiseprince]

Repukes stand for nothing. Passing laws to clarify the constitution are a joke on its face. This crap should never pass. Where is Principaled Paul?

[Vaduz]

Clarify the vice president’s role in counting = Bidding allowed.

Protecting election workers = Sealed rooms from media and public.

[kiryandil]

The first bill would clarify the vice president's role in counting Electoral College votes

Assistant Democrat Pence Assisted in The Steal, then.

If you have to go around "clarifying" after 230 years...

[TakebackGOP]

Don’t post this.

.......”Apart from Manchin and Collins, other members of the group include Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio; Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz.; Mitt Romney, R-Utah; Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.; Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska; Mark Warner, D-Va.; Thom Tillis, R-N.C.; Chris Murphy, D-Conn.; Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.; Ben Cardin, D-Md.; Todd Young, R-Ind.; Chris Coons, D-Del.’ and Ben Sasse, R-Neb., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

Some senators are sponsoring one of the two bills but not the other.

“The January 6th Commission has added urgency to what we made clear in the draft proposal we released in February: there are straightforward and sorely-needed steps we can take to protect and modernize the electoral count process — steps that the election law experts across the political spectrum we worked with can support,” Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, said in a statement.

Senate Rules Committee Chair Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said Wednesday she expects to hold a hearing on the election proposals soon.

“I believe it’ll be before the August recess. We’d like to get it done and move on this as soon as possible,” she told NBC News.”.....

Absolute criminal “bipartisan” pushing through before the truth is LAID UPON THEM. To preserve their own lousy hides is what this is about. Romney chief among them— but all of them corrupt as hell globalist liars.

Does anyone here think these proposals would apply equally to whining dems like Hitlery?-— sure as hell don’t. Facile bill manufacturing.

[BereanBrain]

Bingo. Hey, Trump didn’t do anything illegal, let’s change the laws!
