Lindsey Graham: 'God bless' Sinema and Manchin for standing in the way of voting rights
The other issue is that 19 mostly GOP-controlled state legislatures have made significant changes to laws with the goal of suppressing the voteDuring Senate floor debate on Tuesday, other Republicans, including Sens. John Cornyn and Deb Fischer spouted similar talking points, touting that 94 percent of American voters said that voting in 2020 was easy or somewhat easy, which they argued is proof the U.S. doesn’t need legislation to protect the vote.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer trolled Cornyn when he asked to borrow a poster Cornyn brought to the House floor proudly proclaiming the statistic. “My good colleague from Texas says 94 percent of voters said voting was easy in 2020. So why don’t we keep it that way? Isn’t it true that all of the changes that we are arguing about are post 2020?” Schumer said. “And isn’t it the overwhelming likelihood that this number, if these changes go into effect, will go way down?” he added.
