House GOP refuses to boost funding for election security

[DrLove]

The Orange Poopstain LOVES the Russian mauling of our democracy so don't anger him or he might tweet something mean about you. The Republican Party is now the Putin Party. Sad.

House Republicans are refusing to provide additional funding for state election security grants in a spending bill despite the move upsetting Democrats pointing at Russia's election interference.

Democrats want to continue funding the grants program to help states boost security for their voting systems, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

The floor debate on Wednesday came shortly after President Trump refused to denounce Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, sparking backlash from both sides of the aisle.​

No, failing to save our democracy is horribly bad. But Mikey don't care as long as Russia's mauling favors white nationalists.

So refusing to boost funding ( which may not be needed ) is failing to save our Democracy? By the way, we are a Republic.

Funds are already there. Its the added funds that are in question. As usual the government answer is throw more cash at a problem instead of looking at ways to be more effective wit what is already in place. The extra funds may not be needed.

"President Donald Trump’s requested military parade is expected to cost about $12 million, according to initial planning estimates, the Pentagon confirmed Wednesday."

Initial cost for Trump military parade comes in at $12 million, DoD says

• The R's don't won't states to protect the right to vote, they benefit when they can suppress the vote.
• Seems like Trump wants to emulate Kim and other despots by parading their military.

Everybody who reads your post has noticed it. Now that you finally have, hopefully you can find a good doctor to help you slow your demise.

We are a Republic, a democratic republic. Suggesting we are not a democracy is BIG LIE, & a meme of the Right Wing and those who support an authoritarian executive.

That said, the cost is of no concern to the Republican Party, what they don't want is to allow states to deny the R's their policy of voter suppression.

Need I remind you that you are a dimwit and incapable of understanding written words. In all honesty, you are dumb as a box of hammers.

Money for cyber security is far important than money for a parade that only Donald wants.

Your supposition of support of authoritarian executive is incorrect. Supposed Voter suppression isn't the issue. The cost is a concern.

it contrasts your claim that republicans refused to support funding because of expense with republicans who support Trump's desire for a military parade which would cost just as much or more.

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”

democracy, a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

Poor miketx, having dropped out of elementary school he missed failing Civics in H.S., and never attended a Jr. College, wherein he could fail Poli Sci 101.

My "supposition" is my opinion. Those who claim we are not a democracy, also, IMO, support Trump who is undeniably an authoritarian.
