House Republicans forcing tough and defining votes on Democrats ahead of November election

Ahead of the November election, Republicans have forced tough votes on Democrats that may hurt their chances at the polls. From election security to law enforcement to illegal immigration, House Republicans have passed bills that most House Democrats have voted against, despite Americans’ prevalent concerns about those issues. 

According to the Center Square Voters' Voice Poll, conducted with Noble Predictive Insights in March, when given a range of top concerns, 45% of likely voters said inflation/price increases, 44% said illegal immigration, and 24% said the economy/jobs. 

The rest of the top 10 issues were abortion rights at 22%, crime/violence at 22%, government corruption at 20%, climate change at 19%, health care access at 18%, national debt/government spending at 16%, and national security at 16%. 

According to a January poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates and released by conservative-leaning Tea Party Patriots Action, 86% of voters want only U.S. citizens to be allowed to vote in elections and 87% of voters believe that proof of U.S. citizenship should be required to vote in elections. 

Despite Americans’ concerns about only U.S. citizens voting in elections, Democrats largely voted against a bill addressing it and claimed that it was a non-issue that Republicans are using to undermine the 2024 presidential election. The Hill went as far as calling the bill "insidious."

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed a bill repealing a 2022 Washington D.C. law that allows non-citizens to vote in local elections. The final vote was 262-143. There were 52 Democrats who joined Republicans in supporting the bill for passage, 143 Democrats who voted against the bill, and 18 who did not vote.

Please!

Republicans are NEVER tough about anything.

Just talk and written letters.

The GOP is only good for perpetuating the uniparty grift. The fact conservatives still fall for this balcony is hilarious.

Doesn’t matter, the MSM won’t report on the bills that don’t pass. (Especially ones that would hurt their cause).

So out of nine major issues, only TWO get DNC voters to the polls.

They are going to have to print a LOT of fake ballots to steal this one.
