Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was rebuked Wednesday for his assertion that proposed pro-democracy legislation was a "power grab" by Democrats while at the same time denying that state-level GOP lawmakers are pushing voter suppression measures nationwide.

....................
According to the Kentucky Republican, however, S.1 is "clearly an effort by one party to rewrite the rules of the political system."

"We should be finding ways to rebuild trust, not destroy it further. That's exactly what a partisan power grab would guarantee," he said.

Advocacy group Public Citizen rejected the minority leader's characterization of the bill as "anti-democratic garbage."

"Mitch McConnell called the For the People Act a 'power grab.' This is a bill that stops voter suppression and ends gerrymandering," the group tweeted. "How depraved do you have to be to insist that more people voting is somehow a power grab? What sort of anti-democratic garbage is that?" ..................................
