UPDATED 7:21 PM PT — Friday, December 6, 2019A Democrat-led voting rights bill passed along party lines in the House on Friday. The Voting Rights Advancement Act passed in a 228 to 187 vote, with only one Republican voting in favor of the bill.
The bill looks to restore a provision that would require certain states to get federal permission before they change local election laws.

Today, the House passed H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, which responds to the Shelby County v. Holder decision, repairs the Voting Rights Act, and ensures that all Americans can exercise their right to vote.
Democrats have long criticized the 2013 Supreme Court ruling, which struck down a similar provision in the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
“There is continuing, pervasive discrimination in voting across the country that is undermining the fundamental right to vote for millions of Americans,” stated Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler. “It is essential that we pass H.R. 4 today, that it be enacted into law quickly, so that we can protect the sacred right for all Americans.”
House Republicans called the proposal the ‘Federal Control of Elections Act’ and the White House has issued a veto threat for the bill.

Today, the House is voting on a purely political bill that would prevent states and localities from running their own elections. #HR4 (https://twitter.com/hashtag/HR4?src=hash) is a partisan power grab for the federal government.

Analysts said there is little chance the bill will be taken up in the GOP controlled Senate.

This is BS. Another attempt by the Dems to allow people otherwise not lawfully qualified to vote to vote Dem. Wonder why it is it's always the Dems that don't care about any standard so long as they can manufacture votes. Actually, I don't (wonder). It speaks for itself.
