Schumer Says Senate will Vote to Ditch Filibuster to Advance ‘Voting Rights’ Bill – Making it Easier for Democrats to Steal Elections

 The Gateway Pundit  "Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday said the senate will vote later this month on whether to change filibuster rules to make it easier to pass a ‘voting rights’ bill.

"The voting rights legislation will mandate ballot harvesting, ban voter ID and give taxpayer money to campaigns.

"The new bill will make it easier for Democrats to steal elections which is why Schumer wants to nuke the filibuster to ram it through Congress before the midterms." . . .

Chuck Schumer's Desperation Sets in, as He Continues to Try to Rig the 2022 Election – RedState    . . ."Yes, Democrats are now defining the very existence of our system of governance by whether they win or lose a mid-term. I’m struggling to think of anything more authoritarian than that, at least in a domestic sense. Yet, they continue to spin the laughable, Orwellian idea that they are actually supporting voting rights with their push to destroy the nation’s voting processes." . . .

Chuck Schumer Quotes Late KKK Member in Push for Senate Rules Changes – PJ Media  . . ."Perhaps the most ironic thing about Schumer giving Martin Luther King Jr. Day as the deadline for Republicans to fall in line is that, in his letter, he quotes the late Sen. Robert Byrd, a former segregationist who opposed civil rights legislation and was also a former “Exalted Cyclops” in the KKK.
"“As former Senator Robert Byrd famously said, Senate Rules’ must be changed to reflect changed circumstances,'” Schumer wrote. “Put more plainly by Senator Byrd, ‘Congress is not obliged to be bound by the dead hand of the past.'”

"Despite his racist past, the late Senator Byrd remains a highly respected figure in the Democratic Party, because he “apologized” for his racism or something." . . .

Chuck Schumer & Democrats Using January 6 to Rewrite Electoral Rules | National Review   

For him, the disgraceful Capitol spectacle is an excuse to jam through Democrats’ long-desired rewrite of America’s electoral rules.

. . ."The Democratic drive to nationalize our elections has always been a sweepingly radical step in search of an alleged crisis to address. When a version was first introduced a few years ago, it was sold as addressing “the vile voter-suppression practices” of the GOP, in the words of the New York Times. The big lie of the time was that the Georgia gubernatorial campaign of Stacey Abrams in 2018 was undone by such practices. Now the justification is the Capitol riot and subsequent GOP state-level voting changes that have been portrayed, falsely, as the return of Jim Crow." . . .

. . . "Schumer has an uphill climb to convince relatively moderate Democrats Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to go along with kneecapping the filibuster. If the New York senator were to succeed, he would have blown a hole in the traditional practices of the Senate and set the precedent for Republicans — should they achieve unified control of Washington in 2024 — to impose all their own favored electoral policies on the states.

Chuck Schumer all by himself should be enough to turn an honest person off to politics. The cheerleaders at Politico provide this preview of coming attractions:
