No topic about voter suppression bill?

Because this really worries me.

If it passes and ICE is allowed to 'monitor' elections we are well and fully gone down the road to a fascist government. I hate feeling that way but that's the entire point of the bill.

I recently found out I was one of the voters that the supreme court candidate Griffin tried to disenfranchise last election. Out of nowhere I got a letter saying there was an issue with my voter registration

I have lived in the same house for 33 years.
I have paid a LOT of state and local taxes during that time.
I have voted in every election except maybe 2 small local deals during that time
I have never changed my registration or affiliation.
I have a passport
I have TSA pre check
I have global entry
Recently got the face recognition at the airport through TSA and have used several times
And got the new star ID drivers license last year.

But If griffin had got his way my vote would have been thrown out and I would not have known. I still don't know what the issue was but went down to the board of elections and it took them all of 5 seconds to hopefully fix. I did find out that this was the 'compromise' that the Democrats made with the GOP after that election. How many voters will not realize they need to do it and be locked out in the midterms?


That will be nothing compared to what voters will go through if this monstrosity passes. I am fine with ID being required but they specifically aren't going to allow a drivers license.
 
And it particularly disenfranchises women whose voter registration name doesn’t match their birth certificate. And if they’ve been married and divorced a couple times and don’t have all the paperwork for a complete “chain of custody” they’re fucked.
 
It would require 50 Republican senators to approve a limited repeal of the filibuster. And there aren’t 50 votes for that nor are there likely to be.
