Amendment fails but *126* Democrats voted to impose a mandatory national voting age of 16. #FthePeopleAct
Check that. 125 Democrats and one crazy Republican.
And the one Republican who voted to mandate all states lower the voting age to 16 in all federal elections is... @michaelcburgess.

Weird.

And here's a list of all 126 House members who voted to mandate all states lower the voting age to 16 in all federal elections.

I thought Burgess would say: "oops, I pressed the wrong button." But no. This is strange, especially given how few 16- and 17-year-olds work these days.
I mean, dropping the voting age would definitely increase the share of nontaxpayers who vote.

Gamblers have O'Rourke sliding into a third place tie with Harris. Yang just behind.
New odds from sportsbetting-dot-ag. Same top 5 as PredictIt but they have O'Rourke higher than Sanders.
Bookmaker-dot-eu same top 4, but Warren tied with Yang in fifth.

Here's the MTR. Sense of Congress opposing allowing illegal immigrants to vote.
Not as newsy as an Ilhan Omar MTR would have been but probably more useful for political ads.
and the MTR is being offered by @RepDanCrenshaw, superstar.

Please read this thread to see why you MUST not vote for any constitutional convention resolutions!

🐺No subject is safe, including left wing causes that all #Democrats favor. You are being duped w/ these resolutions (links 👇).
🐺Language used by Wolf PAC is meant to tempt Democrats, but Constitutional Conventions are extremely dangerous to anyone whose last name isn’t KOCH.

Please don't open Pandora's Box.

#UnKochAmerica
#NoConCon4Anything
ℹ Language now used in Resolutions used to lure #Democrats include:

🐺Free & Fair Elections
🐺Repeal Citizens United
🐺Election Integrity
🐺Limits on Political Contributions & Expenditures
🐺“Limited” Convention

Why are all calls for Constitutional Conventions dangerous?

@AriBerman "State election officials say the move will overwhelm their resources and prevent them from preparing for early and absentee voting for the November midterms." #NorthCarolina #VotingRights #DOJ
"One subpoena, sent to 44 county election boards last week, asks for 'any and all poll books, e-poll books, voting records, and/or voter authorization documents, and executed official ballots (including absentee ballots)' from August 2013 to August 2018."
"Another subpoena asks the state board of elections for 'all voter registration applications,' along with documents including absentee ballots and early voting forms, for every county in the state over the past eight years."

Also, ICE also uses Orders of Supervision (OSUP) to monitor those released, the alien must report in monthly (or earlier if needed). Use this program, it is monitored by actual ICE officers that would be charged with monitoring the release...

Let's discuss the rationale behind DNC postponing the #UnityReformCommission recommendations that were voted on & forwarded to #DNCrulesCommittee back in December 2017 to be acted on @ their March 2018 Winter Meeting
The #DNC postponed acting on the recommendations- MORE...
...which included doing away w/their mind-blowing #SuperDelegates that have been described as firewall against insurgent grassroots newcomers by former DNC chairman #DebbieWassermanSchults who was fired after it was determined she was rigging primaries 4 #HillaryClinton- MORE...
Let's be clear in public opinion polling that people that 'Identify' as Democrats does NOT mean they ARE Democrats An #UnaffiliatedVoter that left the party in disgust may still Identify with #Democrats MORE than the Republican Party– OK ?
