McConnell Shreds Controversial Bill Democrats Trying To Pass: ‘Even The Left-Wing ACLU Opposes This Bill’

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) sounded off during a Rules Committee hearing on Wednesday afternoon about S.1, the controversial bill that Democrats are trying to enact that would federalize elections.

“It’s also noteworthy that this is a solution in search of a problem,” McConnell said. “The turnout in 2020 was up 7%. The turnout in the 2020 election was the highest since 1900. States are not engaging and trying to suppress voters whatsoever. This is clearly an effort by one party to rewrite the rules of our political system. But even more immediately, it would create an implementation nightmare, as Senator Blunt pointed out that would drown state and local officials who run elections.”
