The Senate majority leader recoils at provisions that would facilitate voting—a position that puts him increasingly out of step with voters and with many state-level Republicans.
Recent findings that voter turnout broke a century-old record last year and could cause another “100-year storm of voters” in 2020 must play on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s worst fears.
Not only did the annual America Goes to the Polls report, put out by Nonprofit VOTE and the U.S. Elections Project, show historic jumps in Latino and youth voter turnout. The report also found that voter-friendly policies, such as same-day and automatic voter registration, are vastly boosting turnout. The top ten states with the highest turnout—averaging 61 percent—were also the ones that made it easiest for voters to cast ballots. By contrast, the ten lowest-ranking states had turnout averaging in the low forties.

You would think that anyone who loves this country would want to encourage voters to turn out and exercise this right.

RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.
Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.

The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

Well we all know,(except those that watch fake news) that some folks just shouldn't be voting, as they don't know what is in their best interest like bitch mcconnell & ppl like ryan, mccarthy nunass, & ivanka trumpf etc....
No collusion, long live trumpf sent from gawd...
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
Well, both parties have a goodly share of low-info voters who do dumb shit like choose a single issue (guns cough cough abortion cough cough pollution cough cough), who don't otherwise pay attention to politics or current events, and/or who stupidly vote against their own best interests. Even so, fostering higher voter turnout should be applauded by all. It's a shameful travesty when we have ppl fighting and dying for our freedom, yet less than 40% of registered voters bother to show up at the polls. And this goes triple for local elections, when you are deciding important things like school funding, who sits on your city council and school board, funding your first responders, and so on.
