Follow the money....MM

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell squashed two bills intended to ensure voting security on Thursday, just one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned that Russians were attempting to sabotage the 2020 presidential elections "as we sit here." 

McConnell said he wouldn't allow a vote on the bills because they were "so partisan," but, as previously reported, earlier this year McConnell received a slew of donations from four of the top voting machine lobbyists in the country.

"Clearly this request is not a serious effort to make a law. Clearly something so partisan that it only received one single solitary Republican vote in the House is not going to travel through the Senate by unanimous consent," said McConnell on the Senate floor.

The plans would likely burden the two largest electronic voting machine vendors in the United States, Election Systems & Software and Dominion Voting Systems, with new regulations and financial burdens. Together, the companies make up about 80 percent of all voting machines used in the country and both have far-reaching lobbying arms in Washington D.C. Many of those lobbyists have contributed to the McConnell campaign, reported Sludge last month, an investigative outlet that focuses on money in politics.

Sludge found that Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck lobbyist David Cohen, who has worked on behalf of Dominion Voting Systems this year, donated $2,000 to McConnell during this time. Brian Wild, who works with Cohen and has also lobbied Dominion, gave McConnell $1,000.

Around the same time, on February 19 and March 4 Emily Kirlin and Jen Olson, who have lobbied on behalf of Election Systems & Software over the last year donated $1,000 to McConnell each.

And who is that Russian that is spending so much money in Ky....doing something. 

Oh, and let's not forget that Ivanka got patents in China for voting machines.

He didn't get the nickname "MoscowMitch" for nothing.  As far as I'm concerned, he should be tried for treason as much as the current president.

Calling bullshit on this. The woman was brought to the US at age 8 by her parents. Just like many in like situations, she is an American.

I would love to see him lose his last election.

Of course he will make millions on the speaking/lobbyist circuit.

Then why is she always involved in helping her Chinese family's business here in the US?
Call BS all you want...what she does still often stinks & doesn't scream "American" to me!
