BLOCKED! The Senate Democrats have tried so long, and so desperately to pass the long-announced bill, which, was failed from the very start…
The people saw it through, and I don’t believe that there was even the slightest possibility that this bill would pass before the Senate.
Also, the Republican Party successfully managed to use the filibuster to block the bill.

Here’s more from the Townhall report.
“On Wednesday afternoon, Republican members of the United States Senate successfully filibustered the Democrats’ latest attempt to pass so-called “voting rights” legislation that would give the federal government control over America’s elections by reviving many portions of the also-defeated For the People Act.
The vote to move forward with the dubiously named Freedom to Vote Act fell short of the 60-vote threshold necessary to stop a filibuster with a final tally of 49-51 announced by Vice President Kamala Harris who presided over the Senate as the Biden legislative agenda took another loss, its second on election bills.
Back in June, Republican senators defeated Democrat attempts to pass the For the People Act — better known by conservatives as the Corrupt Politicians Act — when they prevented Schumer from getting the 60 votes necessary to move to debate on that iteration of Democrats’ attempted federal takeover of elections.”
NEW: Pres. Biden releases statement as Senate Republicans are expected to defeat voting rights reform bill.

But, here’s the truth.
The Senate is voting on Democrats' "Freedom to Vote Act."
It will fail, because it:
✅Guts popular voter ID requirements
✅Makes it harder to take dead people off voter rolls
✅Lets Dems divert taxpayer $ to campaigns if states opt-in
✅Would make elections a lot less secure https://t.co/SVuKQBhpW9— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) October 20, 2021
Here's a great explainer from @honestelections on why this is a bad bill.
Every Democrat should be asked to explain why they are trying so hard to get rid of basic (popular) election safeguards. https://t.co/lLLiWdhTWk pic.twitter.com/zzK71qBqga

Let’s exhale, but no rest for long. For the Dems will find some devious ways to turn things into motion again!
Be ready for the next struggling fight!
