Klobuchar: We Can Pass Voting Rights as ‘Election Infrastructure’ with Reconciliation

Pam Key 18 Jul 2021

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that so-called “voting rights” could be included in the Democrats’ more expansive infrastructure package they were planning to pass with a simple majority vote using the reconciliation process.

Klobuchar said, “We’ve seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, Dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in Georgia, that not only denies voters water when they’re standing in line but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. And guess what? You have to register 29 days before.”

She continued, “This is clearly a focus by the Republicans in Georgia on limiting people from voting. So we’re doing this hearing, yes, to build pressure, to pass basic federal voting rights. That is the For the People Act and the John Lewis Bill. You name it. If we were just to concede and say, okay, we have one vote, the Republicans blocked it, so we’re taking our marbles and going home. That’s not fair to the people of Georgia. That’s sure not fair to the people of Texas. we’re not giving up.”

Fortunately, she's even more stupid than Shortbus Joe.

IOW, whether the USA remains a constitutional republic or becomes a 3rd world totalitarian hell hole will be up to the Senate Parliamentarian deciding what can be in the reconciliation bill.

I know there are Rats that have indicated they won't vote for this, but they always fall in line at the last minute.

I would ask her this...."what is NOT infrastructure, in your view?"

Democrats believe any law that gets in their way to a one party rule is wrong.  Remember Obama wanted to get rid of the Constitution?  They still do want to.
