"Senate strips provision from bill requiring campaigns to report foreign election help "

Well, sadly, that's how these bills work. From both sides. But to vote against because of these riders suggests that they don't think election security is important. If it was important - why the hold up?

 

Luckily this one failed...

 

So then you don't see a need for election security?

 

Not as a cheap rider to unrelated legislation...

 

The fact that you are pleased it didn't pass tells me you don't see election security as important.

 

The rule was striped after a complaint was filed by the Rules Committee who felt it did not fall within the jurisdiction of the Intelligence Committee. There was no nefarious reason for the removal and was removed solely for jurisdictional integrity between committees.

 

why in the world let facts get in the way of a good false narrative from the left wing propaganda machine

 

The same was said of the dems in 16.

 

Proceedural issue, wrong committee.

 

haha election security from the party that wants millions of ballots sent off in the mail, doesn’t care who votes and how many times! haha

if the dems were serious they would have brought this up properly in the proper committee.

 

They don't call him Moscow mitch for nothing.
Russia's Rusal was sanctioned by the US. Now it's investing $200 million in a Kentucky mill

Chao’s husband blocks Democrats from reimposing sanctions on Russia. He is rewarded with $200 million in Russian investment in Kentucky, which it just so happens, allows his wife to make a profit on some investments that she was supposed to have divested when she joined the Trump administration but did not.
