There's a Reason Why Democrats Can't Get Their Election Bills Passed

Its provisions eliminate voter ID laws, let partisan operatives collect voters' ballots without supervision, and remove proven safeguards from absentee votes.

S.1 saddles election offices with billions of dollars in unfunded mandates while funneling millions in taxpayer money to the campaigns of the politicians voting for it.

Peach State voters now have 17 to 19 days to cast an in person vote, including two mandatory Saturdays and two optional Sundays.

Among them: a nationwide voter ID law, along with 15 days of early voting, including on two weekends.

No state would be able to adopt a new voter ID law, for example, or improve the way it cleans its voter rolls without giving Washington the chance to block them.

Election safeguards don't stop people from voting, but hyperbolic rhetoric that questions the credibility of democracy might.

If we want a true bipartisan solution that secures voting rights and strengthens our democracy, it's this: let the states keep working to make it easier to vote, and harder to cheat.
