McConnell admits it: Having more people vote, and offering financial transparency disadvantages Republican candidates.


McConnell criticizes House proposal to make Election Day a federal holiday

Washington (CNN)Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell faced backlash from Democrats for calling their House bill a "power grab" as it included a provision to make Election Day a federal holiday, among other changes.

The sweeping legislation HR 1, or what Democrats are calling the "For the People Act," would also require presidential candidates to release their tax returns, adds a matching system for small donations, requires super PACs to disclose their donors who give more than $10,000, and prohibits voter purging.

The Kentucky Republican mocked the bill as the "Democratic Politician Protection Act" and argued that it rewrites the "the rules of Americans politics for the exclusive benefit of the Democratic Party."
