A controversial bill to allow federal immigration officers at voting locations this year died Friday without a hearing.

not even a hearing.

Ricardo Reyes, the executive director of VetsForward, told ABC15 the measure was a clear attempt at voter intimidation. "It brought back, you know, memories of being in history class and learning about the KKK being at the polls when Black people first started to vote," he said.

no kidding.

It's obviously not constitutional but with some of the apeshit stuff that has been getting pass or sign as "executive orders", someone figured why not add more garbage on the trash pile
