You know to hate them when you know what makes them laugh

It's a bill to make it easier for more eligible voters to actually vote.

The Senate majority leader said the For The People Act, proposed by Democrats, doesn’t “pass the laugh test.”

He and other Republicans believe that more of the newly enabled voters would be Democrats than would be Republicans.

Har, har.

“Speaker Pelosi and her colleagues are advertising it as a package of urgent measures to save American democracy,” McConnell said. “What it really seems to be is a package of urgent measures to rewrite the rules of American politics for the exclusive benefit of the Democratic Party.”

The act contains a package of reforms geared toward making voting more accessible to all Americans. It faced swift condemnation from McConnell, who penned an op-ed against the bill earlier this month, and House Republicans, who accused Democrats of trying to manipulate elections.

The bill would force President Donald Trump, as well as future presidential candidates, to release their tax returns and would require super PACs to make their private donors public as a way of incentivizing smaller donations.

The bill also aims to make Election Day a paid holiday for federal workers ― a proposal that might encourage private businesses to do likewise, thus allowing more voters to get to the polls.

There are some indicators that show increasing voter turnout might benefit Democratic candidates. FiveThirtyEight found after the 2016 presidential election that registered voters who didn’t cast ballots tended to lean more Democrat than registered voters who turned out.
