state audits and data compiled by groups across the political spectrum have found no indication that noncitizens are voting in large numbers.

Basically, rules imposing additional requirements on voter registration prevent vastly more citizens from voting than noncitizens, since the latter aren’t trying to vote.

    Shutdowns always piss people off, and the GOP is always rightfully blamed, no matter their spin.

    A shutdown would probably shift things to Harris a solid amount, and lose the GOP the house and keep them in the minority in the Senate.

    You can tell most in the GOP know this because every GOP senator is telling the house to cut their shit out, but they ain’t gonna.

        Ditto.

        Now, it’s actually unusual when a party is punished for a shutdown - as per https://time.com/6317658/government-shutdown-gop-elections-virginia/ past shutdowns that the GOP got the blame for didn’t really seem to hurt them later.

        However, the key point from that article is this,

        It was an early sign that anger over a largely pointless shutdown is not destined to necessarily last long.

        We’ve never had a shutdown this close to a presidential election, let alone during one. That might keep the pain fresh enough to actually cost the GOP, for once.
