Texas Democrats are cowards.

Oh I have a resounding clue what they are doing.

Hint: Try doing the same thing at your job whenever an impasse occurs. Let me know what happens.
Every time Congress shuts the government down because they did not get their way, the whole f-ing lot of them should have been fired, barred for life of ever having another government job, even in the mail room, and get a new group in there.

Nope.
People were throwing parties in celebration of the return of Congress to work.

Thus the reason why I look both ways when crossing a one way street on a bridge 20 feet over the road...

Yea. They are not facing things head on and chose instead to run away.

Of course, they could admit they secretly like Trumps art of the Deal.
No. They are preventing anti-voting legislation from being passed by right wing extremists, which is what the GOP has become.

Lets hope that all those citizens who these laws aim to limit voting will come out in droves and throw out these right wing extremists. Republicans need to get their **** together and develop a platform to actually help society instead of just existing to reject progress and solutions.

Public Supports Both Early Voting And Requiring Photo ID to Vote | Monmouth University Polling Institute
The bill....
  • Bans drive-thru voting, even though voters who use the drive-thrus have to show an ID and verify their registration
  • Bans 24-hour voting
  • Restricts the hours during which voting can occur
  • Bans distribution of mail-in voting applications
  • Requires mail voters to provide drivers license numbers or SS numbers on applications and confirm them upon submitting their ballot
  • Requires people who drive others (non-relatives) to the polls to fill out paperwork

Eliminate the filibuster. For both sides.

No pay for doing nothing either.

Impeach for dereliction of duty and office.
Make political positions pay minimum wage. Make lobbying illegal. Overturn citizens united. Make campaigns use public funding to put them on equal grounds. End gerrymandering. Make the filibuster go back to the old rules so they have to stand and talk the whole time. Give back the right to vote for felons. Making voting day a national holiday. Make voting mandatory. Give government id to everyone free of charge and THEN require id to vote. Shift from winner takes all to runoff voting.

By running away. OK.
That's misleading and dishonest, but it illustrates how democrats are doing whatever they can with whatever power they have to stop the republicans from passing laws that are limiting access to voting. Republicans aren't interested in more people voting. let's hope this only motivates more people to come out and vote and elect representatives who have an interest in democracy and fairness.

Please list the laws that would limit access to voting.

Refer to Jose Fly's post from a few hours earlier. He beat me to it.

Do you think cutting voting hours helps more people vote?

Republicans in Georgia did the same thing, and wanted to eliminate Sunday voting, which is when many black citizens vote. Does this help democracy? Does it help our citizens?

Yea. By running away from it.

Great strategy. Go on vacation.

Sounds fair and secure.

Republicans are upset because they cannot pass their bad legislation.

I suggest republicans start thinking about letting people have better access to voting. Are you opposed to that?

Depends on the definition of access.

Absolutely NO non citizens.

Everyone eligible only votes once.

Secure means of collection and relaying of the vote and its results.

It's as simple as that.

Access as in it is convenient for any citizen to cast votes despite their work and life schedule, like drive thru, like long hours that polls are open. Many wage workers have less flexibility and more access means they can vote.

This has nothing to do with security. This is about access. Do you oppose more access to polls so citizens can cast votes?
