Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has already stopped many bills passed by the House to benefit the American taxpayers: For example, one bill was to provide additional protection for persons with pre-existing conditions.There were many others, also blocked. Pure obstruction.
Now, McConnell blocked the advancement of legislation to secure our country’s weak and outdated election system. The Senate Intelligence Committee released a report addressing significant dangers facing our elections. Robert Mueller strongly supported the House legislation requiring voter-verifiable paper ballots, so recounts can be done accurately. And voting machines that don’t connect to the internet, thereby prevent vulnerability to hacking.
In the nearly three years since Russia’s attack, the Senate has not held a single vote on election protection legislation! Mueller was not alone with warning continued Russian meddling. Christopher Wray, the FBI director, stated: “The Russians are absolutely intent on trying to interfere with our elections.”
Clearly, McConnell isn’t afraid of Russian interference, he welcomes it!
Trump and company know they may lose the election without Russian interference. Where is love of country and protection of democracy? We are on a slippery slope towards a dictatorship. Does anyone care?
