Voting bill collapses, Democrats unable to change filibuster

WASHINGTON (AP) — Voting legislation that Democrats and civil rights leaders say is vital to protecting democracy collapsed when two senators refused to join their own party in changing Senate rules to overcome a Republican filibuster after a raw, emotional debate.

The outcome Wednesday night was a stinging defeat for President Joe Biden and his party, coming at the tumultuous close to his first year in office.

Despite a day of piercing debate and speeches that often carried echoes of an earlier era when the Senate filibuster was deployed by opponents of civil rights legislation, Democrats could not persuade holdout senators Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia to change the Senate procedures on this one bill and allow a simple majority to advance it.

How sad. I'm disappointed that you don't want the free and secure elections that you all claim you do. Instead, you're all about cheating.

Free and clear elections mean,
National holiday
Polls open 48 hrs
Photo ID mandatory
No early voting
No mail in voting
Paper backup
You snooze you lose

Elections are under federal authority right now. So says the US Constitution.

How sad. I'm disappointed that you don't want the free and secure elections that you all claim you do. Instead, you're all about cheating.

Trump wins: Free election.

Trump loses: Fraudulent election.

Schumer knew it was a dead deal before he even opened debate, not news, the purpose was to get GOP politicians on the record as opposing voting rights, now Democrats will use their vote against them with those voting blocs who voting rights are important

Called politics “popeye,” guess Tucker didn’t explain it that way for you
