The voting rights bill would allow for no excuse absentee voting, expand the voter registration process and make Election Day a Federal Holiday with other provisions. Now….. I’m not saying you’re a Republican but most of the pull back against this particular bill is overwhelmingly Republican. Especially in the wake of all the unfounded accusations of voter fraud brought by Mr Trump and his followers both public and private. Bringing Democracy to its knees was unethical and unquestionably a blow to our nation’s core values. It brought us into a hostile environment waging Democrat’s against Republican’s. Why? Because Mr Trump lost? Part of being who we are is accepting sometimes we lose. That’s a fact of life. Losing with a smile on your face and acceptance of that fact makes us men. Our resilience to come back and try again is what we’re made of. That’s what makes the United States the greatest nation on earth. Thank you for giving me a reason to reply!

Never happen, although the supreme court might sledgehammer it through anyway.If the bill is so great, why is the support for and against it right down party lines?
If you can't win, just change the rules. That's okay if they do though, because they won't be in power forever.
I'd say that reciprocity (nationwide gun laws versus statewide) would be a good start for our first simple majority bill.
Look at NY. Just to have the opportunity to buy a pistol, you have to go through a 6 month or more registration and permit process. It's in the supreme court right now, and it looks like this century old law based on racism is going to be shot to pieces.
This is the problem with the country. There's a need for a divorce, because our ideas aren't compatible anymore. Everywhere away from the metros in NY no one agrees with the overbearing state laws.

We aren't a democracy, Wayne...
The Absentee one where you have to register for it and sign the outside of the envelope so it (supposedly) can be matched with signature on file?
Or the junk mail ballots?
Thought we were talking about voting, I guess if you can't win change the subject.

Lots of States have absentee ballots, it's just a problem when you want mandatory vaccine cards but no voter id laws.
You have an ID, are you insinuating that minorities are too inept to get one too?
There needs to be verifications in place.
I said fix Jim Crow junk that’s voting isn’t it?

What issues do you have with voting? If you have these issues, why are you ok with vaccine cards?
Like an ID??

No, that's "ⓇⒶⒸⒾⓈⓉ"! Even though they want vaccine cards...
Vaccine cards are more ⓇⒶⒸⒾⓈⓉ given the low vaccination rates in the black community.
Who said I was ok with vaccine cards.
