House Republicans plan to vote Thursday on a spending bill that excludes new money for election security grants to states, provoking a furious reaction from Democrats amid a national controversy over Russian election interference.

At issue is a grants program overseen by the federal Election Assistance Commission and aimed at helping states administer their elections and improve voting systems; Democrats want to continue grant funding through 2019, while Republicans say the program already has been fully funded.

Republicans argued strenuously in floor debate Wednesday that states had plenty of money from prior congressional allocations to spend on election improvements. But Democrats accused the Republicans of abetting President Trump in his refusal to take a hard line against Russian President Vladi mir Putin at this weeks summit in Helsinki.


what the literal fuck.

You mean Russian interference taking the form of targeted news stories? >_> Even after doing a recount, nobody found any alleged election fraud (and Jill Stein pocketed the rest of that money) so this is basically a tiger rock.

All those Russian-backed NRA Republican donations have certainly paid for themselves.
