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.
