WASHINGTON—The House of Representatives is expected to pass legislation overhauling election rules that is likely to stall in the Senate, setting up the bill itself to be a key issue in the 2020 campaign battle between Democrats and Republicans.

It legalizes politicians to steal millions.

Mendacity

The History about McConnell will include the debasement of fair Democratic principles/norms as it relates to the consolidation and concentration of “white power and money.” Citizens United and judicial appointments are the enforcers of his influence. Trump is an extreme version.

Good 'Ol Veto power!

If you can't win fairly, change the rules.

I’ll vote for anything that the turtle-faced-fecker thinks is horrible.

'Parade of Horribles' is a great name for the SenateGOP. Time to get DarkMoney out of our politics.

Thankfully they do not control the senate or the white house

An overhaul is past due. Time to end the rule of dark money and its harmful effects to our economy and citizens.

senatemajldr is a self-contained basket of deplorable.

But it won’t pass in the Senate and even if it does, trump will veto it and they don’t have 2/3 majority to overrule the veto.

If the Dems were actually trying to make elections fair they would propose a generous cap on individual campaign spending and allow funding to come from any source. But this is really about stacking the deck in their favor.

Too bad it has no chance in the senate lol

Two days ago they tacked on a 16 year old voting age...among other things.

I call it 'a parade of symbolic drek.' You can quote me.
