Senate GOP blocks three e******n security bills
BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 02/11/20 01:25 PM EST

Senate Republicans blocked an effort by Democrats to unanimously pass three e******n security-related bills Tuesday, marking the latest attempt to clear legislation ahead of the November e******ns

Democrats tried to get consent to pass two bills that require campaigns to alert the FBI and Federal E******n Commission (FEC) about foreign offers of assistance, as well as legislation to provide more e******n funding and ban v****g machines from being connected to the internet.

But Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) opposed each of the requests. Under the Senate's rules, any one senator can ask for unanimous consent to pass a bill, but any one senator can object and block their requests.

E******n security has become a point of contention during the Trump era. House Democrats have passed several e******n-related bills, including a sweeping ethics and e******n reform measure, but they've hit a wall in the GOP-controlled Senate.

A release from Democrats this week that blasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for a "legislative graveyard" included a list of 10 e******n security-related bills that have stalled in the upper chamber.

Senate Democrats have tried repeatedly during the past year to try to bring up e******n security bills on the floor without success.

"The current president of the United States, far from having the same fears about foreign interference as our founders, has been very public about his openness to foreign assistance and manipulation in support of his e******n," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said.

"The president was just impeached over this issue, and the Senate just concluded a trial in which it appeared a bipartisan majority of senators broadly accepted the fact that the president leveraged hundreds of millions of dollars of military assistance to Ukraine to compel its government to investigate one of his political rivals," he added.

care to rephrase you question so I know what you are talking about??

I did not think you would.. lots of mouth, no facts..

American Vet

It was pretty simple - straightforward English. Sorry that confuses you.

What were the riders attached to the bills?

American Vet

Of course, if you read the article it clearly points out why the Republicans blocked the bills - and rightly so. So thanks for raining on your own little parade.

Seemingly, no riders at all.. but you can find the bill designations and look them up if you wish...

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on Tuesday blocked an attempt by Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) to pass three e******n security-related bills via "unanimous consent," calling them a "federal power grab."

Why it matters: Just last week, the third volume of a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report found that the U.S. government was "not well-postured" to counter Russian interference in 2016. The Democratic-controlled House passed several e******n security bills last year, but none have been taken up by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

The big picture: Intelligence officials have continued to sound the alarm about the threat of foreign interference in future e******ns, with FBI director Christopher Wray warning last week that Russia continues to be engaged in "information warfare" ahead of the 2020 e******ns.

Details: Two of the bills proposed by Senate Democrats Tuesday would require campaigns to call the FBI if they're offered help from a foreign power.

Another bill would provide funding for the E******n Assistance Commission and would ban v****g machines from being connected to the internet.
