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.“H.R.
That push was triggered by Trump’s lies that he lost the presidential election due to fraud — claims rejected by the courts and by prominent Republicans — and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that those groundless claims sparked. He added that he had recently participated in an all-day strategy call with national conservative leaders to coordinate opposition. The leaders agreed that Republicans would seek to rebrand the Democratic-backed bill as the “Corrupt Politicians Act,” he said.
Cancun Cruz shares his view that modern GOP will LOSE ELECTIONS if all Americans are able to vote.
The premise that it should be as easy as possible to vote should be challenged more
Give it up, GOP. Your cheating days are over.
You ain’t got nothing else to rally behind and as soon as H R 1 is passed by a simple majority you won’t be able to hide behind voter integrity. SenatorSinema JoeManchinWV
It has also caricatured the GOP as a clear cut white supremacy movement. No getting around it. No dog whistles anymore just bullhorns. So in 2022 we will find out what we’re really about as Americans. Everyone has to pick a side - there is one issue.
Reminder... Analysis | There is not and has not been any credible evidence of significant fraud in the 2020 election
Over 2 billion votes has been casted during the last 20 year. There are more voter suppression proposals this year alone, than fraudulent votes casted in the last 20 years. Voters suppression is the the only fraud being committed
kkk
Voter suppression
Why have March Madness if only one team is allowed to post a score? Kind of lame if you ask me.
It's the only way they can win.
CancunCruz is the poster child for EVERYTHING that is WRONG in America. PERIOD. 🤬
Today's media often makes us hypersensitive. Unfortunately, giving in to the nut jobs insulting us does more to aid them than calm us. Prosecute and punish hate crimes. Ignore Trumpian morons.
If the only way you can win is by preventing American citizens from voting, you don’t deserve to win. How about instead of trying to win by getting lower and lower, you try to lift yourselves and your candidates up to a higher standard
The mission is to limit votes so that the Republican Party (QOP) doesn't have to have good or popular candidates or ideas, just limit who can and can't vote for their ignorance, hate, and theft from the working class by corporations and the wealthy. GOPHypocrisy Not a secret.
LOL, GQP... ‘searching for integrity’
Not shocking. Trump made it ok to be out on racism
Rafael ' Cancun ' Cruz.
I thought the GOP was already unified on suppressing voting rights and increasing gerrymandering?
This is a survival issue for republicans. The ranks of new voters are increasingly Democratic.
Cruz- the most repulsive symbol for the most disgusting political party!
Republicans don’t want Democrats liberals independents to vote especially blacks and Latinx people !
People voted wrong in the last election(democratic) so let's make harder
A travesty to suppress voters with laws because the GOP realistically knows they are traitors and will not win a Presidential election going forward. The party of racist and conspiracy spreading and hate filled rhetoric. InsurrectionHasConsequences
How is his head getting that big? That beard isn't hiding much.
This is voter suppression full stop. 2020 was the safest with no fraud but only repubs can find fault in that and create a problem where there is none. Need more dems in state legislatures. Vote Dems 2022.
It won’t be Ted Cruz! Jerk
We all thought that the Jim Crow era was over. I guess the republicans want to re-install the vile, white supremacist times of old when only a few were allowed to vote. Whats next prison for all Americans of color
He is a Trumpite someone who is working towards creating an America as despotic a regime as possible ruled by the rich white republican minority.
If you gotta cheat you suck.
The republicans have said it in court. The more people vote the more they lose.
When the people vote, Republicans lose
And apparently Republican voters want a plutocracy. Hooray for voter suppression! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
How do you spell voter suppression? GOP.
Unifying around the belief that less people should have access to a fair election... GD the GOP.
That “post Trump era,” quote is gonna bite you in the ass come the 2024 elections, because a third of the country is still drinking the red hat Kool-Aid.
'Do you have your papers?' Hmm it's so, nazish .Oh did I say that out loud? It's a shame we has a species can't learn from our own past... Check another box to the end of democracy, and another sign of all out War.. . Food for thought...
Perhaps they should simply look into adjusting their platform to not be Nazi creeps.
there was a time when you were real news. Why frame your headline this way? The Republicans are looking to disenfranchise the black and brown communities - call it what it is.
80 million Americans didn't even bother to vote. 🍂
It’s voter suppression and it’s been a core part of republicanism for a long time
The only way Republicans will ever win the presidency again is if they restrict voting rights.
This? This is the unifying moment?
How about we rally behind term limits?
That is the most overly euphemistic way of describing Voter Suppression I have EVER read.
How do you call that 'unifying' when it's literally being divisive?
What an extraordinary headline? It’s no wonder voters get confused and cannot tell the difference between attempts to suppress and depress voting and “ voting integrity”.
Remember, this is what all of Trump + the GOP’s “election fraud” claims were truly about. Trump said the quiet part out loud.
Nothing unites republicans like preventing people from voting. They know it’s the only way they can win. So they gerrymander and make it as difficult as they can for minorities to vote.
The GOP isnt even trying to hide the basic message of, 'you resisted, so now you have to pay the consequences'.
Ted Cruz is a hateful, ignorant, and arrogant throwback.
Republicans: They fight hard to make it harder to vote. And they are pro violence against women. Why they hell are people still stupid enough to vote for them?
Eh ... ? This has been the Republican mission for decades. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
'unifying mission'. And all this time I thought Republicans were just soulless goons with hate a bile coursing through their veins.
What president Trump wants he gets.

YOU MISSPELLED VOTER SUPPRESSION
Got to wonder if all the Republicans out there have considered the fact that it's going to be harder for them to vote as well, not just for democrats.
Republican party? 🤣
And I bet not one of them can give a legitimate reason for all the bills. They say it's for voter integrity. So they're using Trumps' big lie, to prevent future voter fraud in spite of the fact that the fraud didn't exist in the first place. Makes sense to me.
I think it’s pretty much “hate everyone, including yourself”
Pass HR1
tedcruz can criminals or child molesters keep their guns?
The AP should have the journalistic integrity to call 'voting integrity' what it is. Voter suppression. Headlines matter in a social media environment. Even if you call Republican duplicity out in your article, you need to also do so in your headlines.
Imagine uniting against limiting the right to vote easily and feels. Neanderthal behavior
Mail voting was fine with Republicans when their own voters used it the most. They can’t intimidate minority voters, change and close polling locations, and challenge them when they vote by mail. So now mail voting is bad.
The White Minority Party can’t win if anyone but themselves are allowed to vote.
Yeah, first they need to take out black folks, then all people of color, the the damn women, and finally the students. GOP wants to limit vote to old white wealthy males...preferably ones with little human contact so they don’t go soft as they see starving kids
It’s the conclusion is to rally around tedcruz then the Dems are going to be in power for a while...
does he have diabetes?
They have no shame
Voter suppression is the GOP’s lifeline
So different to Australia where we actively encourage our 18 year olds to register and fine anyone who does not vote in any given election.
*Interregnum era
The right to vote should be giving to those who deserve it, who have the good 😌 record to prove that they are worthy of such a power, virtuous decent honorable people should be given the right to vote. Not just bc you’re American citizen born, maybe even that shouldn’t matter
hey cruz, how was cancun? LOSER!
Proposed bill should be on the premise that only citizens can vote and there should be a way to identify voters as legally able to vote, the Bill proposed by Democrats is equivalent to voting fraud! and they hide it with their attack on GOP as voting supression.
Citizens no matter what, exercise the right to vote at all cost & stay vigilant, we owe this to our future.
That bs doesn’t qualify as a mission. It’s just bs. They are, per usual, trying to find a common pile of bs to throw around. Just a bunch of bs mongers.
Institutionalization disenfranchisement - there is a word for that I think....anyone want to guess?
AP’s nationwide campaign to restrict editorial content to only that using it’s stylebook – often cast as ‘editorial integrity’ – has galvanized a generation of youthful editors in search of more freedom to write whatever they feels like
Voter integrity is a Republican way of saying voter restrictions. Republicans can’t win the popular vote so they restrict the Democratic vote. Republicans are confident they can win over supporters just by pushing the right buttons, communist, immigrants, white people, gun rights
“We can’t win when people vote easily, so we’ll keep them from voting!”
Holy shit is this Ted cruz? I genuinely don’t know... but if it is. Damn he looks awful
What's a 'voting integrity'?
If your political party’s “unifying mission” is to keep people from voting, you might wanna reevaluate what you’re doing in public service.
It SHOULD be: All Americans, birthed here or have passed a citizenship test, can vote, and can do so in whatever way they want to. Whether that's early, day of, or by pony express (mail). It's 2021 for f*cks sake.
They're desperate. The only way they win from here on out is to suppress or gerrymander the vote, and they know it. They even argued it in front of the supreme court recently
All Americans need to have free and fair access to vote. What Republicans are doing right now is exactly the opposite.
▌001 Respectfully citizens registered to a state can't vote another different state. Not allowed at this moment. W/ regards to voterID, minorities do know how to register a driver's license, state id, & insurance; they also know how to ask, just like how white people can. ▌001
I thought we were seeing the true face of the Republican party during the Trump era, but there's always a worse layer underneath.
They know they can’t regain majorities unless they suppress Democratic Voters.
How did he help during the storm
The GOP platform . . . hate and discrimination
Viter suppression = racism.
BREAKING - THREE MURDERED SO FAR TODAY IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND (NO MENTION OF RACE)
CantCruz2024
Not voting limits. Vote security. Shouldn’t we all be for making sure votes are counted fairly? That vote harvesting is caught and stopped? That dead people don’t vote? That people don’t vote more than once?
Out of control pandemic that started in GOP’s watch. Failure to act to manage the pandemic, on the GOP watch. Economy tanked, on the GOP watch. And the biggest issue they can get behind is voting suppression...I mean integrity? A bunch of small-minded, small people 🤦♂️
Anyone who says this is 'voter supression' probably just shouldnt vote. Thats the point of all this. Get ur heads checked
How about you just leave it alone. You want to vote, you figure it out
It is what it is.
Destroy the GOP. Disintegrate their power. Corrupted to the core, every last one of them. Destroy them.
Not only does he resemble him, he thinks like him too.
They could, you know, choose a winning platform instead, but that's real work.
So much for the Republican basic philosophy of freedom to vote. This new Republican party of old and prejudiced politicians are failing the constitution and citizens freedom to vote because they are Insecure how well they cannot do in future elections

Cruz is a laughing stock.
U Cruz U Lose
Destroying democracy is their unifying mission.
“The fight over who can vote and how” is voter suppression. Better tweet: From statehouses to Washington, D.C., voter suppression efforts, cast by many Republicans as ‘voting integrity,’ has galvanized a Party that realizes when people of color vote, Republicans often lose.
Whitewashing full-fledged voter suppression & GOP racism. When more people vote, Republicans lose. See BillionaireClass
Patriots: Freedom is not free！
Is the GOP a Communist party,I think it is for voting to keep Americans from voting,the only countries that do this are Communist or dictatorship countries, God help us if the GOP gains power again!!!!!!!
All enemies of the United States and abroad must be treated equally, and there should be no blind optimism or luck.
WeThePeople Patriots, please stand shoulder to shoulder with God to destroy the devil's agents and all traitors. Rebuilding America, success or failure depends on this! Fight to the end, never compromise!
Literally do anything: “may I see your ID” To vote for our democracy: “nahhhh, we have a buddy trust system. You’re good”
WeThePeople This is war! This is a life-and-death battle between devil agents all over the world and anti-human cult organizations such as the Communist Party of China stealing the United States of America in an attempt to enslave the people of the United States forever!
The U.S. Constitution also gives Americans the right to bear arms to overthrow 'the Congress of the United States, the Supreme Court, and the Deep State, three thousand tyrants a mile away, who pretend to be God, violate the U.S. Constitution, and subvert America'!!!!!
Honestly, if you can only win by 'limiting' the vote to 'maintain integrity', I'm pretty sure that there's another problem in your party platform.
Without guns, there would be no America!!!!! Americans have the right to overthrow a tyrant three thousand miles away with a gun!!!!!
should have known he would be in on this.
Bill Gates is the devil against humanity!Zach Burke is the devil against humanity!The FAKE NEWS is the devil against humanity!Big companies such as Amazon, Facebook, Google, Twitter, CNN, TIME......, etc. should be defined as political groups, not companies or enterprises.
Of all the shit happening in this country, not letting minorities vote is the 1 GOP issue.
Here, we have concrete proof republicans have been cheating in state elections. And I've said, I don't believe Trump and Lindsey Graham were trying to do something republicans haven't been doing nationwide to hold on to power. Steal votes, lie, throw away votes or etc.
Eric Swalwell is a large spy bought by the CCP in the United States! Immediately arrest the CCP spy and traitor Eric Swalwell.
The U.S. Democratic Party is using exactly the same tactics as the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong 'Bad reputation, economic truncation, and physical destruction' to brutally persecute President Trump. Falun Gong was persecuted by the CCP, President Trump was persecuted by the DP
Both the CCP and the Democratic Party are anti-human demons!The CCP continued to export the Communist Revolution to the United States for decades. The Democratic Party and the CCP colluded with each other to lure wolves into the house and destroy the United States.
They want to make it more difficult for minorities to vote. That’s their intention. Bottom line.
The so-called 'political correctness' = the devil is correct, the evil is correct, the mutated human is correct, and the anti-human is correct!
Republicans will never win by cheating, will never win by lying. Will never win by grinding government to a halt. Definitely will never ever win an argument over integrity!
Nelson Mandela says:
A fascinating look at the state of political competition in the U.S. revealing the degree to which the Republican Party has moved towards being anti-democratic.

Retire Ted Cruz, enough of you!
1/For the People Act-HR 1 is the legislation that is needed to preserve our democracy. The threat is real. America just underwent a violent attempt to overturn a free and fair election. One of our major political parties pursuing anti-democratic legislation throughout the nation.
Interesting choice...'limits'
“All hands” to stop other people from voting.
What is wrong with you? The Republicans are not interested in election integrity. They are interest in voter suppression. Get your bylines right.
1/ In states across America, Republicans are pushing legislation aimed at making voting harder. There are over 250 bills in 43 states since the election that would restrict access to the ballot.
Nothing like the anti-democracy movement to unify the Republican Party. Now they've moved on to rooting for our foreign adversaries. Cheering for Putin, Xi, & Kim Jung Un.
editors: its voter supression and you know it. Use the right headline
If you can’t beat them, disqualify them.
I hope Matthew McCaugnahy goes for election, sorry I can never spell your name right but Camilla gave me energy bowls overloaded with plumeria & ferns!
GOP, all hands rally for voter suppression. The only way they’ll acquire a seat is through suppression of votes. It can’t be called winning a seat simply because it’s not. This is self destruction that drags us all down into their collective delusions.
They have to suppress voters - they know they will lose otherwise
Republicans are attacking representative democracy, and the press acts like it's a legitimate strategy. This is an embarrassment.
They have definitely unified to keep black people from voting. Conservative.
Not one Republican serving today in congress is there to serve and protect us and their recent actions proved it
The only way a minority can ensure they rule over a majority.
Just quit voting altogether and let the oligarchy decide who gets elected and what legislation is passed, which is what they’ve done for 40 years anyway. 🤷♂️
Of course they're going to rally behind on who can vote. The plan didn't work last time, so they have to get a new plan together. Black ppl are use to the nonsense.
To GOP voting integrity = voter suppression. Only way they can win.
Anyone still interested in what Senator Cancun has to say?
I don’t know why republicans are so stupid about this. They can do anything that the Democrats can do. They are just to lazy to get out and motivate their voters. Change the rules of the game because you can’t win.
Of course they do-the attempted coup failed so... Hold them accountable
Ugh. Faux outrage to control the narrative. You are feeding the loop
SICK JUST SICK
We are, truly, living through the dumbest era in History. I present to you, my friends, the Associated Press, with the dumbest news headline you are ever likely to witness.
Why the hell is Ted Cruz's face showing up anywhere but with headlines talking about his indictment & prosecution. Why?!
gop isn't stupid they know trump motivated Democrat voters, doubling down on voter supression is the only chance they have.
When a party supports hate and mass murder, (eg Atlanta Bob, Kenosha Kyle, Putin etc) at the same time that they are hell-bent on limiting voting rights, WATCH OUT!
Most welcome precious people
You could just call it voter suppression
