Manchin unveils demands for compromise on voter protections
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a key Democratic centrist swing vote, circulated a memo this week spelling out his demands for a voting rights bill every other Democrat in the Senate has sponsored, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. The three-page memo indicated that Manchin would be willing to back the For the People Act, which aims to counter voting restrictions passed by several GOP-controlled state legislatures, with some changes. Manchin's memo said he would back key provisions, including mandating at least two weeks of early voting and preventing partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts, but that he also wanted voter ID requirements that most other Democrats oppose.

Thank you my staunch conservative Lt Col Charlie Brown for posting the news, that I was aware of and grateful for, that 'Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a key Democratic centrist swing vote, circulated a memo this week spelling out his demands for a voting rights bill every other Democrat in the Senate has sponsored, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. The three-page memo indicated that Manchin would be willing to back the For the People Act, which aims to counter voting restrictions passed by several GOP-controlled state legislatures, with some changes. Manchin's memo said he would back key provisions, including mandating at least two weeks of early voting and preventing partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts, but that he also wanted voter ID requirements that most other Democrats oppose.'

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said on Tuesday that he had a "constructive" meeting with a group of civil rights leaders but that he was unmoved on his opposition to a sweeping bill to overhaul federal elections.

If the feds take over the elections, then I guarantee you that we will be a socialist country, with the dumporats in charge we're really looking at some real problems.
