It was reported that with the growing consensus on both sides of the aisle of a GOP Red Wave in the upcoming 2022 mid-term elections, all hands are on deck for the radical left to pressure the U.S. Senate to pass The Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
This act would nationalize federal elections, in conflict with the U.S. Constitution, by mandating all states to allow early voting, making Election Day a public holiday, and mandates mail-in voting ETC.
The U.S. Senate will vote this month on whether to change its rules to make it easier to pass a bill protecting voting rights, top Democrat Chuck Schumer said on Monday, days before the anniversary of the deadly Jan. 6 attack the Capitol building.
Schumer has vowed the Senate will forge ahead on voting rights legislation and will vote on changing the rules of the upper chamber by Jan. 17 if the GOP once again blocks the bill.
Politico reported, the U.S. Conference of “Far Left” Mayors released a letter signed by more than 140 mayors of both parties, urging the Senate to pass the two voting rights bills.
Fix Our Senate, a campaign focused on eliminating the filibuster, also shared a letter signed by 60 organizations pressing Senate Democrats to address the filibuster in order to pass voting rights legislation.
“Just as we needed to extend the debt limit to avoid economic calamity, we need to pass federal democracy and voting legislation to safeguard our democracy,” the letter reads. “And just as you had earlier been prepared to recognize that the U.S. economy is more important than the filibuster, we urge you to make a similar assessment when it comes to our democracy and our right to vote.”
The Majority Leader said the narrowly Democratic-controlled chamber needed to consider a change to its filibuster rule after a wave of Republican-led states last year passed new restrictions on voting.
Nineteen state legislatures passed 34 laws to stop election fraud in 2021, the highest number since the center began tracking voting legislation in 2011.
