We still have yet to see any evidence of a U.S. citizen being denied the right to vote. But then again, the same Democrats who say there is no voter fraud also scream about voter suppression, meaning it’s just too hard for some people to vote. They need every state to mail ballots to everyone on the voter rolls, as well as offer early voting, Sunday voting, drive-through voting, 24-hour voting, etc. As many pointed out, while Georgia was singled out for its voting legislation, it still offered more opportunities to vote than President Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware.
In that interview with ABC News’ David Muir, Biden said that he supports an exception to the filibuster — but just for voting rights bills (sure).

The Hill reports:
Biden told ABC News’s David Muir in a portion of an interview that aired Thursday that he would support fundamental changes to Senate rules in order to pass election reform legislation.
“That means whatever it takes. Change the Senate rules to accommodate major pieces of legislation without requiring 60 votes,” Biden said.
When asked to clarify that he supported a carveout for voting rights legislation from the 60-vote threshold needed to pass most bills in the Senate, Biden said that he did.
Just your usual reminder that Democrats used the filibuster 327 times in 2020 alone compared to once by the Republicans, but this year it’s “Jim Crow on steroids.”
Biden backs exception to filibuster to unconstitutionally federalize elections.
Fixed it for you.

This has nothing to do with voting rights (because everyone has voting rights already) and everything to do with the federal government seizing power of the election process so they can remain in power forever
— squats_n_sunscreen (@G_Kors) December 23, 2021
And by voting rights they mean centralized elections with results controlled by a National Socialist government.
What could possibly go wrong?

Sure–let's weaken election security and federalize elections based on a possible tie breaking vote. 🙄

Voting rights already exist. You show up and vote. With his approval rating so low, he's being pressured to make it easier for his party to cheat. Apparently, combing the cemeteries for votes isn't enough for his party to win.

I do not support either party trying to federalize the elections. This would be in direct violation of the Constitution & state sovereignty. If a party attempts to do this, it would be a blatant attempt of party in power changing the laws which will permit them to stay in power.

end the filibuster this once so we can rig the vote and then not need it. Sure, but how about it doesn't go into effect until after the next Congress is seated? Agreeable?

You can't end it without a super majority. God this story is played out

Schumer doesn’t have the votes to change Senate rules. Manchin and Sinema have already said they are against watering down the filibuster

Like, are they going to take it away, do whatever they want for a minute, then put it back before Republicans own the House and Senate next election?

Biden is desperate to get something his leftist base wants, passed. If that means changing long standing rules then so be it. I don't think it will happen, however.

When your approval is in a nose dive and your party is panicking, so you decide the best solution is for your party to take control of the election.
Because that doesn't sound third worldish.

Cool. When the Republicans once again are in charge, they'll overturn the same legislation.

Democrats are already shaking in their boots over 2022, and they should be.
So it's good when it suits your purposes and evil when not…
