Letter: On a slippery slope toward dictatorship

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has already stopped many bills passed by the House to benefit the American taxpayers: For example, one bill was to provide additional protection for persons with pre-existing conditions.There were many others, also blocked. Pure obstruction.

Now, McConnell blocked the advancement of legislation to secure our country’s weak and outdated election system. The Senate Intelligence Committee released a report addressing significant dangers facing our elections. Robert Mueller strongly supported the House legislation requiring voter-verifiable paper ballots, so recounts can be done accurately. And voting machines that don’t connect to the internet, thereby prevent vulnerability to hacking.
