McConnell Stalls Trump's Election Overhaul Bill as Republicans Fume

https://newrepublic.com/post/206864/mcconnell-trump-election-overhaul-bill-save-america-act

Mitch McConnell is blocking the SAVE America Act, which would make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.

McConnell, who leads the Senate Rules Committee, is refusing to schedule a vote on the legislation, thus preventing it from moving forward. The bill would create barriers for voting, requiring specific forms of ID in order for Americans to exercise their constitutional right.

Their people are the poorest (and/or the stupidest) and are less likely to have a passport or to be able to get together the required paperwork to get one.
