Drama QueenLook dumbshit....there is NO provision for illegals voting...no matter how you ignorant POS's try to spin it. Yeah..i imagine there might be some sex offenders among the excons who regain their franchise, so? Are you so stupid...don't answer that!---to believe that the few who vote will effect any legislation at all?So you're in favor of child molesters and illegals voting?????Ted Cruz sees this as an existential threat to the Republican party..is it? I think that it's a shot at the right wing, for sure. Party moderates probably not as concerned--but tossing out phrases like, "they want child molesters and illegal aliens" to vote--shows the far right's concern over this bill--as no one has seriously suggested either. There is a provision for ex-cons to regain their franchise..so?
'An all-hands moment': GOP rallies behind voting limits

On an invitation-only call last week, Sen. Ted Cruz huddled with Republican state lawmakers to call them to battle on the issue of voting rights.
Democrats are trying to expand voting rights to “illegal aliens” and “child molesters,” he claimed, and Republicans must do all they can to stop them. If they push through far-reaching election legislation now before the Senate, the GOP won’t win elections again for generations, he said.
Asked if there was room to compromise, Cruz was blunt: “No.”
“H.R. 1′s only objective is to ensure that Democrats can never again lose another election, that they will win and maintain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate and of the state legislatures for the next century,” Cruz said told the group organized by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-backed, conservative group that provides model legislation to state legislators.
Cruz’s statements, recorded by a person on the call and obtained by The Associated Press, capture the building intensity behind Republicans’ nationwide campaign to restrict access to the ballot. From statehouses to Washington, the fight over who can vote and how — often cast as “voting integrity” — has galvanized a Republican Party in search of unifying mission in the post-Trump era. For a powerful network of conservatives, voting restrictions are now viewed as a political life-or-death debate, and the fight has all-but eclipsed traditional Republican issues like abortion, gun rights and tax cuts as an organizing tool.
That potency is drawing influential figures and money from across the right, ensuring that the clash over the legislation in Washington will be partisan and expensive.
Instead of the usual knee-jerk bs...how about addressing the issue honestly, pro or con?
So, you agree with the Leftists in Congress that politicians should be required to earn the votes of convicted child molesters in every state?
I guess if you guys want to empower NAMBLA and make their endorsement worth something, that's the key.
But, but....What about NAMBLA?
NAMBLA is a liberal pressure group, that's why the Democrats are so anxious to guarantee child molesters the franchise in all 50 states. If Sleepy Joe doesn't love NAMBLA, why doesn't he insist that Chomos be removed from the voting rolls instead of mandating they be allowed to vote?
