    Manchin breaks from Dems on S1 election bill: 'Wrong piece of legislation' to unite US
    The 'For the People Act' is the largest overhaul of U.S. election law in at least a generation

    West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin Democratic colleagues' far-reaching election bill, the For the People Act, because it's too partisan.

    "It's the wrong piece of legislation to bring our country together and unite our country, and I'm not supporting that because I think it would divide us more. I don't want to be in a country that's divided any further," Manchin said on "Fox News Sunday."

    "I think there's a lot of great things in that piece of legislation, but there's an awful lot of things that basically don't pertain directly to voting," the senator said.

    The bill, also known as S1, is the largest overhaul of U.S. election law in at least a generation and covers many aspects of the voting process, including requiring states to automatically register eligible voters and offer same-day voter registration.

    The measure also requires states to offer 15 days of early voting and allows no-excuse absentee balloting, which 14 states would have to implement. The states that already allow it would have to conform to S.1’s standards.

    Senator Joe Manchin, one of the few remaining Democrats who actually, has respect for the rule of law and order. Of course, he will object to legalizing massive election fraud which this bill is about. Democrats want to continue cheating knowing they got away with plenty of it on November 3, 2020. A day that showed the world that, US politicians did not care about the rule of law if they can remain in power. Other countries are laughing at the US politicians and media for calling such elections, free and fair when, there was massive election cheating?

    Depressing that he and Sinema aren't up for re election until 2024 :(

    I remember when Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landriu were fucking up Obamas agenda with their moderate bull shit,they both lost their next elections after democrats stayed rather than vote for them.

    He is already Republican and doing McConnells work so it wouldn't matter.

    He won't be re elected as a republican though,his 2 votes to impeach Trump put an end to that possibility.

    It wont matter...lol...
    I thought you were better informed about how congress works
    Dems would lose all committee control, their ability to confirm their next Marxist supreme court justice, ability to harass political opponents with subpoenas
