Proof-of-citizenship voting bill push could threaten government shutdown

[daveman]

Republicans lying about noncitizens voting is part of the right’s racist nativist anti-immigrant campaign intended to vilify immigrants, consistent with white grievance politics and racist replacement theory.

Oooh! Damn! I was just one "transphobic" away from Leftist Buzzword Bingo!

Whose paychecks are in danger from free, open, and honest elections? Ballot mules?

None. Peoples' paychecks are in danger from a government shutdown.

People can't commit murder BY LAW.

People can't make and use methamphetamine BY LAW.

People can't commit rape BY LAW.

Does that mean people don't do those things?

Sure, they do. Just like a few illegals try to vote. I don't see the house though adding amendments to the budget in order to reiterate murder, rape and drug production are illegal.

Election security is more important.

Given Democrats' violent opposition to election security, it's obvious they're planning to cheat.

Election security is not helped a single iota by adding an amendment criminalizing something that's already a crime.

Democrats aren't opposing election security. They're opposing the Republican mission to try to delegitimize the election results by casting doubt on its fairness. Like adding amendments to the budget for something that's already a crime in an attempt to support the claim that it happens at scale.
