House Democrats pass election security bill amid impeachment
​

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House approved legislation Wednesday to better protect the country’s elections from foreign interference, the third major bill the Democratic-controlled chamber has passed this year addressing problems that arose in the 2016 presidential election.

The 227-181 vote comes as lawmakers pursue an impeachment inquiry centered on allegations that President Donald Trump improperly solicited election help from Ukraine ahead of the 2020 vote. It also comes months after special counsel Robert Mueller finished his report on 2016 election interference, finding numerous contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia but not enough evidence to establish a conspiracy between the two. Democrats want to prevent such actions in the future and ensure that campaigns know they are illegal.

The Stopping Harmful Interference in Elections for a Lasting Democracy, or SHIELD Act, would require that candidates and political committees notify the FBI and other authorities if a foreign power offers campaign help. It also tightens restrictions on campaign spending by foreign nationals and requires more transparency in political ads on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.

And it would explicitly prohibit campaigns from exchanging campaign-related information with foreign governments and their agents. The latter provision was aimed at reports that officials in Trump’s 2016 campaign shared polling data with a person associated with Russian intelligence.

COMMENT:-

This bill, of course, will NOT be introduced into the Senate.

Now, if the bill had been initiated by Republicans, it would NOT have been passed in the House.

Their next act will be to pass the Start Helping Impeachment Tricks act.

Good forbid we do what we can to keep foregein nations from influencing our elections, those opposed should be ashamed to call themselves Americans.

Russians control everything in DC and New York. The Chinese have Kalifornia and the NBA. Did you know Trump reports directly to Putin 6 am sharp every morning? I saw it on The View hand on the Bible.

Now if they would just pass laws requiring valid ID to vote.

Mexicans have to have ID to vote. They have to come here to vote if they have no ID.
