(Vince) 3:30 A.M……. That is when Chuck Schumer thought it a good idea to bring a bill which would permanently load the dice in favor of Democrats in this country.

These disgusting tactics—like bringing a bill to the floor at 3:30 A.M. is all to characteristic of our elected ‘leaders’.
They’re also eerily reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s conditioning techniques—If you hold a rally in the dead of night those attending are far less likely to object, but I digress. The important takeaway here is that Ted Cruz blocked the bill.
Aside from the fact that Ted Cruz is a hero, Schumer’s reaction to having his bill blocked, a bill he was probably so sure he could sneak by relatively unopposed at 3:30 A.M., is great.
Take a Look at Schumer’s disappointment:
Hey Chuck, maybe if you don't want to be disappointed don't bring a bill to the floor at 3:30 A.M. https://t.co/Orm4im2Zxh#ElectionIntegrity #BillHR1SR1 #Schumer #TedCruz @chuckschumer

Ted Cruz stands up to block a blatant power grab by Democrats. "Voting rights" is just a euphemism for victim class vote farming, and no it isn't racist to be asked for I.D. to vote, I get asked for more when I buy alcohol. #Electionbill #TedCruz https://t.co/VMWQZCH94s

Axios had more details:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) blocked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) attempt to pass Democrats’ signature voting rights package — a revised version of the “For the People Act” — in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The sweeping federal elections overhaul is intended to combat a wave of new voting restrictions in Republican-led states, but has no chance of winning the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster.
Schumer attempted to pass the bill via unanimous consent, which requires just one senator to object in order to kill the vote.
The Democrats’ attempts to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, launch a federal election takeover, and give labor union handouts have either failed or stalled in Congress.
So now they're trying to sneak them into a budget bill… #nothankshttps://t.co/2i3oTxahfw

Here is what Ted Cruz had to say via The Texas Tribune:
“This bill would constitute a federal government takeover of elections. … It would strike down virtually every reasonable voter integrity law in the country,” Cruz said.
Schumer proposed unanimous consent for two more proposals that would address redistricting and campaign finance, and Cruz also objected to those as motions.
The great hope among many of the more than 50 Texas Democrats who had decamped to the nation’s capital this summer was that the U.S. Senate would make tangible progress toward a federal voting rights bill before Congress’ annual August recess period. The Texas Democrats, who busted the state Legislature’s quorum to block GOP voting legislation for the past month, pinned their hopes on Congress because they are the minority party in all branches of state government.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
