Wait. I thought the GOP was deeply concerned about voting fraud because, according to them, the fraud always favors the (D)s. You'd think they'd want *more* security, eh? Or.... is the real reason for strict voter ID laws truly voter disenfranchisement?

Lol, libs are incapable of honesty. No funding was "stripped", additional unnecessary funding was denied. This was a political stunt by the dems. Political theater is really all they have left at this point.

Quigley's election security amendment would have extended funding for a state grant program overseen by the federal Election Assistance Commission. Congress approved $380 million in the current budget for the program, which is intended to help states strengthen election systems from hacking and other cyberattacks.

Democrats want to approve a similar amount through 2019, but Republicans say money from the current program is still available to states and new spending is not needed.

House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions, R-Texas, said Congress has already spent more than $3.5 billion on election security since the contested 2000 election. States still have money left from the current $380 million appropriation, and lawmakers have not been made aware of any new requests for more money as the November midterm elections approach, he said.
