People could kick up a big stink about it, but the reason it won't go anywhere is that Ryan can hold it in committee in perpetutity.

The voting machine observations aren't new. They're old, some dating back to Bush-era elections.
I think technological illiteracy and States refusing to replace costly machines represent the bulk of the opposition.
- jessaustin 9y agoI thought they were trying to win back the House? One couldn't imagine a more evocative campaign issue, for independents suspicious of both parties like me. "We care about democracy and Paul Ryan doesn't! Tell Paul Ryan to restore trust to democracy!" OK, tell me that and I'll vote Democrat. Crickets.
- KirinDave 9y agoYou probably won't, but I'm not going to engage an obvious troll any further.
- jessaustin 9y agoIs it the fact that I like Gabbard, or the fact that I voted for Bernie, which earns me such a commendation from such a valiant defender of the status quo (war) machine?

"We care about democracy and Paul Ryan doesn't! Tell Paul Ryan to restore trust to democracy!" And that’s the electoral (as opposed to policy) side of why 84 of them are cosponsoring a much broader election security bill than Gabbard’s HR 5147 (and, to be clear, one that was introduced before Gabbard’s “me too” bill.)
