>> yeah, and mitch mcconnell was pretty plain about this. essentially saying this was a partisan bill and, of course, passed out of the house. i think one republican voted for it, even though there is some support for this bill in the senate among some republicans. he just sees it as partisan, primarily because the president himself sees this issue of sort of cybersecurity around elections as a partisan issue. it reminds him of the notion that the russians and putin sided with him, meddled in the election, and, you know, put the thumb on the scale for him. so he doesn't want anything that sort of touches on that at all, so i think republicans are standing behind this president who has very much taken a hands off approach to this. he has at one point said he's for auditing, going back to paper balloting, which is part of this bill as well. so far you've had republicans stonewall. this is also about states rights. you're from the south. you know about states rights. these are election systems that are pretty much state controlled.
