Republicans don't just believe they have to cheat; they believe they have to cheat a lot. They're probably right about that. Without the two-ton thumb on the scale in favor of Republicans, they wouldn't, in their current form, win anything much except regional elections in the Deep South and some parts of the Midwest. Rather than moderate or adjust their views to win elections in a rapidly changing America, they have embraced a darker agenda: trying to crush fair and free democratic elections.



Heh
Sad that you find that funny.

Two ton thumb

After all of Red’s carefully thought out arguments the final judgement is in on HR1 and the filth who oppose it.

Not only is McConnell refusing to bring the bill up for a vote in the Senate, he is reportedly waging an all-out campaign to intimidate any Republican senators out of backing it in public.

He is one very frightened little turtle-man.

When you call the reversal of your power grab a “power grab.”
That makes no sense.

Calling a bill that seeks greater and equal access to voting a “power grab” doesn’t make sense.

Unless you think your party somehow benefits from fewer people (particularly fewer people of a certain type) voting.
What “ power” grab are you talking about?
Elections are run by the states.
The power grab the democrats proposewould turn control over to politicians in D.C.

Not sure where you are confused here.  The subject of our conversation is clear, and you yourself call HR1 a "power grab" two sentences later. 

I was asking what power you were referring to?
Since elections are adminstered by the 50 STATES.

You seem to somehow still be confused despite this being incredibly simple.

I am referring to a term used by McConnell which he used to argue that HR1 is a vehicle to increase the political power of Democrats.

What other "power" could I be referring to?

Mitch is a a sellout who knows he has no business in government and knows his co-conspirators are even worse. Fair elections scare the shit out of him, as they should.

Or likely after it, as I understood her.

Nancy knows not to commence the tarring and feathering of all things trump and trump infected until the full extent of his rubbing and tugging enterprise is laid bare.
