Rob Portman (R-Ohio) has warned against his moderate colleague Sen. Joe Manchin\u2019s (D- W.Va.) recent suggestions on voting legislation. In an interview on Sunday, Portman shared his appreciation for Manchin\u2019s efforts to find middle ground in the Senate when it comes to election law, but argued his voting bill memo has missed the mark.<\/p>\n<p>Portman argued Manchin\u2019s recent memo on voting rules does very little to correct the issues in the S.1 bill, which takes election powers away from states and hands it over to the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026We\u2019re gonna take it away from the Democracy in effect, which is right now in Ohio our state legislature makes that decision,\u201d he explained. \u201cThese are elected representatives and he wants to take it away and make it a federal responsibility through some kind of commission.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats\u2019 800+ page election bill has nothing to do with voting rights.

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) argued the election bill forced a \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d approach, while Portman suggested it was too generalized.<\/p>\n<p>Portman went on to say voting should be easy to do in the U.S., but it should also be hard to cheat.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/big-cities-move-to-refund-police-departments-amid-uptick-in-crime\/\">Big Cities Move To Refund Police Departments Amid Uptick In Crime<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
