McConnell Nixes Two Dem. Election-Security Bills

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday blocked votes on two bills designed to combat election interference, accusing Democrats of pushing them for political purposes.

McConnell rejected Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s request for consent to pass legislation approved by the House that funds the Election Assistance Commission and sets up a requirement to use paper ballots, calling it “partisan legislation.”

“Clearly this request is not a serious effort to make a law. Clearly something so partisan that it only received one single solitary Republican vote in the House is not going to travel through the Senate by unanimous consent,” McConnell argued.

The majority leader also shot down Democratic senator Richard Blumenthal’s request for consent to pass a second election-security bill that would require political candidates, their families, and their campaign associates to report to the FBI offers of assistance from foreign governments.

2. This is the legislative and electoral equivalent of the Fifth Amendment

McConnell refuses to allow the legislation to come to a vote on grounds that it might tend to make our elections fair, and thus eliminate half the Congressional delegation of his party, and their chances to retain the White House next year.
