Election security bill won't pass ahead of midterms, says key Republican

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said Tuesday that a bipartisan election security bill won’t be passed by Congress ahead of November’s midterm elections.
Lankford told The Hill that the text of the bill, known as the Secure Elections Act, is still being worked out. And with the House only being in session for a limited number of days before the elections, the chances of an election security bill being passed by then are next to none.
“The House won’t be here after this week so it’s going to be impossible to get passed,” Lankford said of the bill.
The legislation, which aims to protect elections from cyber attacks, was initially set to be addressed by a Senate committee last month. But the mark-up was abruptly postponed by Senate Rules and Administration Committee Chairman Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) over a lack of Republican support and after some secretaries of state shared concerns about the bill, a GOP Senate aide told The Hill at the time.

How in the world did our so patriotic, flag pin wearing, Make America Great Again fail to secure our elections? Gasp, I just don''t understand. 
DUH, of course they didn't, they never intended to and in fact made sure as hell that it didn't come up for a vote because they need Russia to steal this election for them or they re truly in trouble and they know it. A more treasonous group of country, women, working class/poor and minorities hating assholwa would be hard to find, outside the KKK and Nazis - which a lot of them love.
C'mon, Demfolks, flood 'em!! GOTFV*!!
