Despite threat, Republicans block election security bills

[Sandy Shanks]

During the hearing featuring Robert Mueller, special counsel for the 400-page Mueller Report, Rep. Will Hurd, a Texas Republican who previously served in the CIA, said Russia posed a “significant threat” as it increased the frequency and intensity of its active measures.

Mueller agreed, adding that in 2020, the threat wouldn’t be coming from Russia alone. “Many more countries are developing the capability to replicate what the Russians have done.”

“The Russians are absolutely intent on trying to interfere with our elections,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Tuesday.

CNN reports, "The Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday released a wide-ranging report that detailed Russia's attempts to hack US election infrastructure during the 2016 election, urging states and the federal government to do more to prevent election cyberattacks in the future.

"The 67-page bipartisan report concluded that the Russian government "directed extensive activity against U.S. election infrastructure" from 2014 through 2017.

"Based on what the IC knows about Russia's operating procedures and intentions more broadly, the IC assesses that Russia's activities against U.S. election infrastructure likely sought to further their overarching goal; undermining the integrity of elections and American confidence in democracy," it states."

"This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should've won," President Donald Trump.

Never one to question the President on anything, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked two election security measures on Thursday, arguing Democrats are trying to give themselves a "political benefit," so says The Hill.

“Clearly this request is not a serious effort to make a law. Clearly something so partisan that it only received one single solitary Republican vote in the House is not going to travel through the Senate by unanimous consent,” McConnell said.

Okay. Now the question becomes, Senator, you have enjoyed a Republican majority for over 30 months, for two years you had the assistance of a Republican controlled House, and we have been aware of this problem for over four years, where is the Republican bill(s) for election security?

There is an abundance of evidence from your own Senate Intelligence Committee that the problem has not gone away.

Is it because the boss won't allow it? He thinks it is all a "made-up story."

The best security is very tough voter ID laws.

First, Republican control was only a slim margin. They still couldn't get past any democrat filibuster and through it all refused to go nuclear.

Second, The left couldn't give 2 shits about 'election security' and dont give a single fuk about the sanctity of the vote. Same people that do everything in their power to import voters from south of the border oppose vorter ID laws, oppose the deportation of illegal aliens, opposed any commission on voting integrity, provide sanctuary to illegal aliens....

 

[lennypartiv]

Maybe the Russians are going to help the Democrats in 2020 like they did in 2018.

<<President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was concerned Russia would attempt to help Democrats in upcoming elections, claiming no president has been "tougher" on Russia than him.>>

Trump claims Russia will try to help Democrats in upcoming elections because 'no President has been tougher on Russia than me'

President Obama does not write legislation. The R's controlled the majority during his final two years in office.

Trump claims Russia will try to help Democrats in upcoming elections because 'no President has been tougher on Russia than me'

What proof do you have to prove this allegation? Trump's claim? Please be serious.

Obama got on National TV and told the American public that it’s impossible to hack a US election.

I take him at his word. Obama wouldn’t lie, would he?

So......I'm not sure why it wouldn't be prudent to add extra protections to our elections. Shouldn't this be an issue we all can agree on?

Really?! After the last three years the FBI and CNN have pretty much zero credibility. And Mueller, does he even know where Russia is on a map?

Over four years? Where was the Obama bill?

President Obama does not write legislation. The R's controlled the majority during his final two years in office.

Obama had the House and senate for 2 years and the senate for 4 more. No bill was ever introduced by the dem Senate even though Obama KNEW the Russians were trying. Again for the slow and stupid a bipartisan bill would pass these were democrat bills with all kinda problems benefiting democrats.
