So let’s get this straight...Look 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?
Many felons will vote which is why the Democrats want to give them back their right. Of course, does it really matter? They could vote using someone else's name anyway since no voter id is required either. Democrats are either REALLY stupid/ignorant or ok with corrupting our voting system.
A convicted felon will risk returning to prison just so he can vote under someone else’s name.
Makes sense to the Conservative mind
A criminal will risk going to prison for any of his crimes. Does it make sense for a 19 year old criminal to go in with a gun into a convenience store and shoot up the place for $50 and risk the Freaking electric chair for that little bit of scratch?
Criminals aren't logical people for the most part, I don't think their minds are fully developed.
And these are the people who want to vote in election and determine who will rule America?
