WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic push Wednesday that would have provided $250 million to beef up election security.
The money would have been doled out in grants through the Federal Election Assistance Commission and helped, among other things, replace outdated voting equipment and increase cybersecurity efforts. |
This was a polictical ploy by Democrats and a great example of fake news. The ploy was the dems didn’t try to get support for this and wanted a down vote by The gop so they could tweet about it and so media would eat it up. There is a ton of context missing...a couple things...first our election process across the board is so flush with cash local boards are returning it. This doesn’t affect anything with the security of our mid terms. Most news orgs actually didn’t give this a lot Press because it was such a political ploy by dems.
Of course g1 runs with it.
