Because part of what was in that bill, which is really a voter suppression bill, was to compel states and localities to turn over voter files to DHS of all people.
That ain't happening.
That's crazy.
Later.
And here's the problem with these deranged individuals.
There is no election that has been stolen.
They can't point to
Evidence of widespread voter fraud in any way, shape or form.
They're making it up because they know they're going down in flames.
These people have literally lost election after election after election.
We saw what happened in the off year elections in November because the American people have had enough.
in New Jersey, in New York, in Virginia, in Mississippi, in Pennsylvania, in Georgia, where we won statewide races for the first time in 20 years, Prop 50 in California.
And then we follow that up with a string of big victories in red states, like Florida in December, Texas in January, and most recently in Louisiana,
where we crushed the Republicans with a 37-point overperformance from a district that Donald Trump had just won.
So these people are scrambling right now.
But even John Thune has said, no, we're not going to let the president nationalize the election.
And they lost before the Supreme Court in December.
That was actually a somewhat surprisingly enlightened decision where the Supreme Court concluded that Donald Trump does not have the power to federalize the National Guard.
which is what forced him to remove National Guard troops under his direction in places like California, Illinois, and Oregon without the cooperation of those governors who told him to get lost.
So that power has been removed from him.
