Oh for fuck's sake! "The Senate on Wednesday rejected a bid by Democrats to appropriate an additional $250 million in grants to individual states to bolster the security of their voting systems." https://t.co/CjIYKvRNjJ

Let me be perfectly blunt here: There is a known and demonstrable ongoing threat from the Kremlin, who interfered in our last election and will certainly interfere in this one.
One might reasonably argue that they are already interfering, via a continuing campaign to exploit partisan divisions among the populace.
And the Russians are only interfering (thus far) on behalf of Republicans.
So the fact that Senate Republicans refuse to do anything to prevent that interference is itself collusion.
They know what has happened, they know what is happening, and they know what's going to happen, and they are actively blocking Senate Democrats' attempts to protect our elections from foreign interference that exclusively benefits their own party.
They are traitors. It's that simple.
