GOP GROUP RUNS AD IN MITCH MCCONNELL'S HOME STATE SLAMMING HIM FOR BLOCKING ELECTION SECURITY BILLS
Newsweek ^ | Aug 8 2019 | RAMSEY TOUCHBERRY

Posted on 08/21/2019 5:59:25 PM PDT by rintintin

An organization comprised of life-long Republicans unveiled a new TV ad Thursday morning, taking aim at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for recently blocking election security bills as officials continue to warn about ongoing Russian efforts to subvert U.S. elections.

The minute-long video, created by Republicans for the Rule of Law, comes as Democrats have blasted McConnell and other Senate Republicans for blocking votes on various House-passed measures that would, among other things, provide additional federal funding to states and would require post-election audits, back-up paper ballots and the notification of federal authorities about any offers from foreign entities to help a campaign, candidate or family member of a candidate. It will air on viewers' screens in Washington, D.C., and in the Republican's home state of Kentucky.

"We can't count on Trump for election security," the group's director and longtime Trump opponent Bill Kristol wrote on Twitter. "And Mitch McConnell is blocking the Senate from even considering bipartisan election security legislation. Enough."

Do these "life-long Republicans" insist on voter ID laws? Anyone know? If not, they aren't really concerned about election integrity, there has to be another agenda.

Do you suppose they mean that federal authorities should be notified about Biden's son?

Republicans for Rule of Law ranks up there with Affordable Care Act and Peoples’ Democratic Republic as ironic names.

Russians did nothing to hack any state's system in 2016.

But the Obama administration’s Department of Homeland Security attempted to hack into states’ voter registration systems in Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, and West Virginia.

never believe it when newsweek tries to tell republicans what other republicans are doing or thinking.

of course, stories like this are raw meat to the circular firing squad at FR.
