So cocaine mitch thinks voting is a Democratic power-grab. :lol:
McConnell says bill that would make Election Day a federal holiday is a ‘power grab’ by Democrats
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday that a Democratic bill that would make Election Day a federal holiday is a “power grab,” sparking a fierce backlash online. McConnell was speaking about H.R. 1, legislation that Democrats have made a centerpiece of their agenda since retaking the House earlier this month.
In remarks on the Senate floor, McConnell (R-Ky.) said Democrats “want taxpayers on the hook for generous new benefits for federal bureaucrats and government employees,” including making Election Day a “new paid holiday for government workers.” “So this is the Democrats’ plan to ‘restore democracy,’” McConnell said, describing the legislation as “a political power grab that’s smelling more and more like what it is.”

I am not necessarily for or against a federal holiday for election day, I can see the arguments on both sides, but Mitch McConnel himself being against it is no surprise. He nor most Republicans would want anything that can be perceived as easier to vote.
The far-reaching legislation would also prohibit the purging of voter rolls, require presidential and vice-presidential candidates to release their tax returns, compel states to adopt independent redistricting commissions and create a matching system for small-dollar donations to congressional campaigns, among other changes.

We have been close to at least a National ID card, for some time. My grandparents are buried @ USMA, West Point. It used to be an open post, that is there were no restrictions on access. After 9/11 that changed as most US military facilities. My state is far removed from NY. When I presented my state operators permit the MP ran the card through a credit card type reader and returned the permit.That stripe on the rear of state permits (drivers) is readable across state lines. This was at least ten years ago.

Which of those are you against and why?The bill contains much more than simply adding a new federal holiday.

Was the topic Mitch McConnell?I think it is an attempted derail from the topic.
Real ID Act has standardized driver's licenses and State ID's.
Why not make a compromise and have voting holiday with ID.

Not much of a reach to a National ID card then, thanks, hadn’t heard of the Act.
