They don't give a shit about anything but themselves.

Iowa Senate passes bill shortening early voting period, creating stricter cutoff for absentee ballots

A bill shortening Iowa's early voting period, reducing Election Day voting by an hour and creating a stricter deadline for returning absentee ballots is a step closer to becoming law after it passed the Iowa Senate on Tuesday.

The Senates approved the measure on a party-line vote of 30-18, with every Republican in support and every Democrat opposed, following a lengthy debate about voter fraud and voter suppression.

The legislation would shorten Iowa's early voting period by nine days, taking it from 29 days to 20.
