Democrats Eye Elections, Continue “Partisan Power Grab”
With Democrats in Congress feuding over their massive social-engineering reconciliation bill, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi need a distraction from their failure. Hence, we will have a meaningless vote on the House’s election-federalizing bill, the Freedom to Vote Act, which has even less chance of passing.
The bill finally achieved unanimity among Senate Democrats—or so Schumer claims—after bowing to Joe Manchin and eliminating the most radical elements of the For The People Act. What remains still amounts to the biggest federal intrusion on state’s jurisdiction over elections. Mitch McConnell accurately labeled it a “partisan power grab.”
Not a single Republican senator will vote for it, let alone the ten Schumer needs to break a filibuster. It is, as one aide put it to NBC, nothing more than public-relations filler while Democrats try to rescue their massive spending bill.
Voters gave Joe Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi a big opportunity to govern. It’s clear that they prefer political stunts—playing to the hard left—over responsible governance.
