Schumer: State Voting Laws 'One of the Greatest Threats We Have to Modern Democracy in America'

[BREITBART] Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer

...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 45.30226 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
(D-NY) likened basic election integrity measures embraced by several states, such as voter ID, to the era of Jim Crow and accused the GOP of attempting to suppress voters. He made the remarks during Wednesday’s Senate Rules and Administration Committee hearing on S 1, or the "For the People Act," which critics warn will strip power from the states and federalize U.S. elections.

Speaking to his colleagues during the hearing, Schumer blasted Republican state legislatures, such as Georgia’s, for pursuing basic election integrity measures, calling it "infuriating" and accusing Republicans of being "afraid" of democracy and trying to prevent people from voting.

"Some of these voter suppression laws in Georgia and other Republican states smack of Jim Crow rearing its ugly head once again. It is 160 years since the 13, 14, and 15th amendments abolished slavery, and Jim Crow stills seems to be with us," the New York progressive said.

"The laws, their various cousins in Republican state legislatures across the country, are one of the greatest threats we have to modern democracy in America," Schumer declared

#1 Oh, really? How about starting at stuff you've done. It's a really good point to have the states make voting as easy as you have in getting on a plane.

#2 What a useless piece of crap that has way too much control over what happens in my life.

#3 Don't worry, Chuckie, you won't have to worry about 50 states for too much longer.

But so typical of the Dems how they whine when something in the Constitution or rooted in law isn't to their liking. Funny how they didn't complain about the Electoral College this time, but after Hillary had her fat ass handed to her in 2016, the College was the worst entity on the planet.

#4 What a useless piece of crap that has way too much control over what happens in my life.

Agreed, but I'd rather have this moron in there than, say, Harry Reid. Now there's an asshole's asshole for you. At times I hated him more than I did Obama when he was running the Senate.

#5 He's a POS and always has been. I remember one of the NY talking heads saying that the most dangerous piece of ground in NY is in between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera.

#6 Someone should introduce a bill making it so that voting requirements mirror the requirements to buy a gun.

#7 ^ What Raj said. Reid was a sneaky duplicitous bastard who kept his mouth shut much of the time. Chuck is as subtle as a rock slide.

#9 "Modern Democracy", as defined by Chuckie and company, in contrast to "Classic Democracy", defined - in writing - by our founding fathers.

#10 "Democracy? You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means." The Princess Bride keeps intruding into public life.
