WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El Senador de EE. UU. de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de que los republicanos del Senado se negaran a proceder al debate y obstruyeron la primera votaci\u00f3n en el Senado sobre la Ley de libertad de voto.<\/i> Merkley ha estado ayudando a liderar las negociaciones dentro del Senado sobre legislaci\u00f3n que proteger\u00eda la libertad de voto de los estadounidenses, impedir\u00eda que los multimillonarios compraran elecciones y terminar\u00eda con la manipulaci\u00f3n partidista, y es uno de los patrocinadores principales de la Ley de libertad de voto<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Los dem\u00f3cratas han buscado de buena fe comprometerse a trav\u00e9s del pasillo, pero a trav\u00e9s de esta votaci\u00f3n, los republicanos han demostrado una vez m\u00e1s su falta de voluntad para siquiera abrir un debate sobre las pol\u00edticas necesarias para preservar nuestra libertad de voto.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cTenemos una pandemia de coronavirus que desaf\u00eda a nuestra naci\u00f3n y amenaza la salud de los estadounidenses. Pero en Texas, Florida, Georgia y muchos otros estados del pa\u00eds, hay un segundo virus que se extiende por todo el pa\u00eds: se llama supresi\u00f3n de votantes y amenaza la salud de nuestra democracia.<\/p>\n
\u201cPreservar y proteger nuestra forma de gobierno 'Nosotros, el Pueblo' no deber\u00eda ser un tema partidista, y felicito al Senador Manchin por ir m\u00e1s all\u00e1 para llegar a nuestros colegas republicanos y agotar todas las v\u00edas antes de realizar esta votaci\u00f3n. Desafortunadamente, una vez m\u00e1s, los senadores republicanos rechazaron cualquier intento de trabajar juntos en nombre de nuestra democracia y, en cambio, hicieron maniobras obstruccionistas para garantizar la corrupci\u00f3n continua de nuestros sistemas electorales.<\/p>\n
\u201cDiecinueve estados ya han aprobado proyectos de ley para impedir que grupos espec\u00edficos de estadounidenses voten. Los multimillonarios contin\u00faan comprando elecciones con dinero oscuro. Y los funcionarios estatales republicanos, mientras hablamos, est\u00e1n presentando sus planes para manipular la nueva ronda de distritos legislativos para tomar el poder negando a los estadounidenses una representaci\u00f3n justa e igualitaria.<\/p>\n
\u201cEsta legislaci\u00f3n pondr\u00eda fin a todas estas t\u00e1cticas para que la gente, independientemente de su afiliaci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica, geograf\u00eda, color de piel o ingresos, tenga el derecho protegido de dar forma a las decisiones que nos afectan a todos y de elegir pol\u00edticos que reflejen sus valores. Ese es un valor estadounidense, no partidista. Tomar el poder negando a sus rivales pol\u00edticos la misma oportunidad de votar es una amenaza diab\u00f3lica para nuestra visi\u00f3n constitucional y la libertad de los estadounidenses.<\/p>\n
\u201cEsta obstrucci\u00f3n fue, lamentablemente, esperada y deja en claro cu\u00e1n roto est\u00e1 el Senado. Debemos restaurar la capacidad del Senado para asumir los grandes desaf\u00edos, debatir los grandes temas y considerar los puntos de vista de los senadores de ambos lados del pasillo y, en \u00faltima instancia, aprobar legislaci\u00f3n. Nuestros derechos y libertades penden de un hilo\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
