Senate Rejects New Money For Election Security (apnews.com)

The Republican-controlled Senate has defeated a push by Democrats to set aside an additional $250 million for states to upgrade their voting systems to protect against hacking and other cyberattacks. From a report: An amendment offered by Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy received 50 yes votes, 10 short of the 60 needed for approval. Leahy said securing U.S. elections and "safeguarding our democracy" is not a partisan issue. He said the Senate "must send a clear message to Russia and other foreign adversaries that tampering in our elections will not be tolerated. The president will not act. This duty has fallen to us." A similar effort was also rejected in the House.

The hell? It's the Dems that fight tooth and nail against being required to show an ID at the polls.

You're both basically fucked in the head.

You equate at polling place fraud, which has been shown to be virtually non-existent, with an organized attempt by a foreign adversarial nation. That's about as stupid a thing as i've heard all day. Do you have to try really hard to be that stupid, or does it come naturally?

And to be clear, Russian corrupting our democracy isn't voter fraud. The only person i've seen calling it that would be you two dumbasses. Another lying sack of shit conservative arguing straw man bullshit. Do you guys have any integrity at all?

And yes, just to be perfectly clear... you are the dumb ones.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence to dispute the claim either.

There is also no evidence to dispute the claim Trump's brain is controlled by space aliens. But that doesn't make it an "almost truth" ... although, that hair ...
