Election-year legislation to impose strict new proof-of-citizenship requirements on voting appears stalled in the Senate, for now, despite President Donald Trump’s call in his State of the Union speech that Republicans in Congress pass the bill “before anything else.”
Trump’s push for the bill, backed by House conservatives and his most loyal supporters ahead of the midterm elections, has put new pressure on Senate Majority Leader John Thune as he tries to navigate an effort from inside and outside Congress to bypass normal Senate procedure. Thune has said he supports the legislation and that his GOP conference is still discussing how to pass it
They are slow rolling this for as long as possible so they can pass it closer to November to maximize chaos.
It will pass, they will blow up whatever they need to to make it pass.
No doubt.
If the SCOTUS didn’t favor Trump they should say, “Let me help you with that!” pass it immediately and start a lawsuit same day.
What will democrats do to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory regarding this?
Imagine all the red states where people decry any form of ID.
They don’t have to change anything from their current course, current administration is fucking everyone equally
The non id carrying Republican voters is a small but vocal minority. The minorities that have difficulty getting valid I’d is much larger, which is the whole point. However, I’d say more are prioritizing their id given ICE oppression.
So it may not work as well as previously.
They will hear back from the corporate overlords, who are trying the figure out potential effects on annual revenue.
Could this threaten Democratic senators donations?!
Aw gosh, what a crying shame.
Ooooooo… demand away, daddy. I love to see it.
