(Washington, DC)Ā -Ā The Senate's Republican leader is accusing Democrats of fueling a "fake panic" over an imagined crisis involving voting rights.Ā
Kentucky's Mitch McConnell says Democrats aim to "smash the Senate" to seize control of America's democracy.Ā
The comment was a reference to Democratic efforts to change the Senate's filibuster rule to pass two voting rights and election reform bills. The filibuster rule requires 60-votes to pass legislation.
McConnell slapped down Democratic concerns over a number of controversial election reform laws in Republican-led states.
