“Congressional Republicans are attempting to commandeer the midterm election cycle and increase voting margins in President Trump’s favor by putting a finger on the scale of our elections and pushing nonsensical, anti-democratic laws to stop voters from casting a ballot,” said Public Citizen co-president Lisa Gilbert. “This overreaching, un-American bill tacks on unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles to vote, all of which would harm voters across the political spectrum.”
“The bill is likely dead on arrival in the narrowly divided Senate, with every Democrat and at least one Republican, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, expected to oppose it.”
As the other guy said, Nullification Crisis.
South Carolina was pissed over tariffs. Jackson wouldn’t reduce the tariffs so SC said fuck it and said the tariff is null and void in the state.
Jackson was very pissed by the nullification and pushed the Force Bill through Congress so he could give SC a beatdown.
Eventually, Congress pushed a compromise tariff through, and SC agreed with it. They also nullified the Force Bill right afterwards as a final fuck you.
