Not to mention the cost of replacing any voting
machines that were "fooled with" by unqualified
persons.
That being said, the Democrats, who never miss a
chance to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory,
need to wake up and come to their senses. There
is no "bipartisanship" in Congress and the Senate.
The Republicans, however it happened, now own the
Supreme Court. If the Democrats don't get rid of
the Senate fillabuster before the next election,
and pass what needs to be passed (a very long
list), the rest of this century will be run by
a Republican Senate and Congress as well as a
Republican Oval Office.
Let's face it, voter suppression and gerrymandering
both work quite well. The Supreme Court won't stop
it until the Supreme Court is unpacked of Republican
political hacks. It's going to take new voter's
rights laws, among other laws.
Who wants to bet the Democrats will sit on their
hands and hope for the impossible.
