Klobuchar: We Can Pass Voting Rights as ‘Election Infrastructure’ with Reconciliation
breitbart.com ^ | 7/18/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 07/18/2021 10:58:47 AM PDT by rktman

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that so-called “voting rights” could be included in the Democrats’ more expansive infrastructure package they were planning to pass with a simple majority vote using the reconciliation process.

Klobuchar said, “We’ve seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, Dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in Georgia, that not only denies voters water when they’re standing in line but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. And guess what? You have to register 29 days before.”

She continued, “This is clearly a focus by the Republicans in Georgia on limiting people from voting. So we’re doing this hearing, yes, to build pressure, to pass basic federal voting rights. That is the For the People Act and the John Lewis Bill. You name it. If we were just to concede and say, okay, we have one vote, the Republicans blocked it, so we’re taking our marbles and going home. That’s not fair to the people of Georgia. That’s sure not fair to the people of Texas. we’re not giving up.”

Klobuchar added, “There are many ways to proceed here, including the upcoming infrastructure packages that were just discussed with Senator Portman. I’m happy to answer. I think we need a deadline that Senator Schumer set. We need to get going. Election infrastructure could be in the Democratic package. And that’s part of the solution. The House is starting their hearings this fall on the John Lewis Act. We are moving on that bill.”

Amy, whatcha gonna do? Surely they must have considered calling this the "Dewey Cheatum and Howe Voter Violation act." instead of the john lewis racist deviant act. Voter ID NO! Covid ID yes. Gettin' warm in here.

She is always called a “moderate”!

“Election infrastructure”. There’s an Orwellian term.

All American citizens (except some felons) who are 18 or older have voting rights, and nothing in any of these laws changes that.

The name alone should be sufficient to trick the RINOs into supporting it.

“reduces the run-off time to 28 days. And guess what? You have to register 29 days before.”

It’s necessary, because previously:

“According to the Wall Street Journal, moving to Georgia to participate in the runoff elections...technically legal...but suggested any new residents should stay a while to avoid legal backlash.”

“Liberal activist Andrew Yang’s comments raise suspicions that Democrats could exploit Georgia law to win critical runoff elections”

Called that by the same media that called the Soviet Communist hardliners “Conservatives.”

If it has a “D” after its name, it’s an anti-American, racist, Stalinazi loon. Period.

According to the democrats’ views, anything can be classified as infrastructure.

How ‘bout, socialism and or communism as infrastructure? That’s really where they’re headed, so, why not come straight out with it?

In reality, the only infrastructure that matters to this, or any country, is the economy. How ‘bout, economic strength as infrastructure? Everything else revolves around the economy.

True, but the liberal view is that black folks can’t get an ID, and the liberal view that conservatives want people to die of thirst in a voting line is still out there.........

Good question. Apparently water bottles are supposed to be provided by the election officials.

You look to be homeless.

I am man, sucks.

Are you a Democrat by chance?

Why yes, but a whole lot of good an adult lifetime of voting Democratic did me.

How would you like to spend a few months in a motel in an area of great employment prospects?

That would be great.

Who is paying for all this?

A very kind and generous Democratic billionaire.

How can I ever thank him?

Think about it.

there absolutely is a God, but He has allowed Satan nearly free reign on this earth- within limits- so that mankind has a free will choice whom they will follow or reject- Adam chose badly- and brought about death and decay. Every man woman and child is born with just such a nature for sin=- and it takes a strong person to kneel before God in submission when Satan is reigning and sin is so desirable and easy- Takes a real commitment to become a follower of God
