    1. @Domino EP Because you want to get rid of them the moment they disagree with you. They’re not going anywhere. Deal with it.

    2. Abolishing the senate isn’t a bad idea. Along with electoral college. In 1970 there were over 2800 bills a year passing the senate. The last 5 years the average is less than 250 a year. It’s since Mitch came to power in KY when it got a whole lot less democratic and a lot more fascist authoritarian

  1. National Mail in Voting fix’s every thing. Good enough for the Military good enough for my state Washington

    1. By request ONLY in my state, that unsolicited crap was invented to STEAL the 2020 election.

    2. Except that one thing the audits found with stacks of mail in ballots is that they had no creases meaning they weren’t mailed because that would’ve involved folding them to stuff them into the accompanying envelopes. 🤷‍♂️ Dems want it because it’s obviously an easy way to cheat.

    3. @Hunter Roberts Except that one thing the audits found with stacks of mail in ballots is that they had no creases meaning they weren’t mailed because that would’ve involved folding them to stuff them into the accompanying envelopes. 🤷‍♂️ Dems want it because it’s obviously an easy way to cheat.

    4. @Scientific Methodologist funny but not really. The traitours repulicans are the only ones that has been caught cheating because it’s the only way they can win. Anyone still supporting the Traitor trumpf and his enablers makes you a traitor also.

    5. @Scientific Methodologist Mailed voting works. I vote in Oregon and I’ve never doubted that my vote is needed, wanted and counted.

    1. Yes. How does making it more difficult to vote translate to voter integrity??? Keep fighting Stacy Abrams and Rep Kenyatta.

  2. Under the new proposal to federalize building an all states these young people and others will get to go on tour buses and register to vote in Atlanta GA, Spartanburg NC, and Asheville NC. Republicans could charge her four or five tour buses and registered Republicans in key precincts in these three states. The next day, Election Day, These same individuals could return to the above mentioned states and vote. The federal law will take away domicile rights to be determined by each state.
    The federal law that they are referring to is so terrible it will likely be declared unconstitutional. Let us hope.

  3. Rally’s are not going to help.Democrats need to toughen up or they are going to loose it all. Times have changed since he was VP.

    1. Democrats have already lost it all. They just don’t know it yet. The consequences of this rigged election are going to keep on coming.

  4. “I appeal to all of you to get into this great revolution that is sweeping this nation. Get in and stay in the streets of every city, every village and hamlet of this nation until true freedom comes, until the revolution of 1776 is complete.” – Former House of Representative for Georgia, John Lewis

  5. ‘Get rid of the Senate.’ Yeah, try. Please prove to the world how corrupt you are as a party, please. By the way, his dramatics had me cracking up! He deserves an Oscar.

    1. The Senate has been and will always be a representation of the minority voters. WH ite evangelical “Christians” conservatives. This is why the electoral college was created as well. To ensure y’all always have a greater control of our democracy. Even though thank the gods y’all dying off of Covid and because you are becoming even more of an minority due to lack of population growth. The country and our democracy will be a better place when y’all gone.

  6. Thank you Rep Kenyatta for fighting for voting rights in this country. It has already been proven that Manchin is in the pocket of Big Oil so he will never vote for peoples rights. Sinema needs a wake up call. Bring this fight to them. The filibuster needs to be reverted to its original procedure of a talking filibuster. If both voting rights packages do not pass, our democracy will die.

    1. Well, then your democracy is dead, because these trash bills aren’t going to pass. Three quarters of the American people want our elections secured against voter fraud. That’s called the will of the majority, and that’s what democracy is all about. So while your democracy is failing, mine is thriving. Your democracy where minorities rule over, and control the majority is indeed coming to an end.

  7. Actually the voting changes Repubs putting hinder their own voters as well, esp.elderly. All out war on democracy
