Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) introduced a bill on Tuesday aimed at ensuring every legal absentee ballot cast is counted.

In a statement on her House website announcing the Every Vote Counts Act, Demings said, "Every American must have the opportunity to vote — no matter their political affiliation."

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) responded to the proposed bill by calling it a Democratic power grab, telling a conservative website in Florida, "These guys don't want there to be any election laws, she's part of their national Marxist strategy."

It is not the first time Rubio has claimed something he opposed is "Marxist."

According to the statement on her website, Demings' legislation would require that every state have a tracking system for absentee ballots so that voters know if their vote has been counted. It would also require them to provide ballot drop boxes to collect the absentee ballots and create a nationwide standard for checking signatures to ensure that valid ballots are not wrongly thrown out.

1. Typical of republicans to lie, period - but especially to lie about what was actually said or done.

2. Why does Marco hate the troops?

That is what the theme of an ad campaign should be.

3. Anything In Signature Box Should Count

I have 3 signatures.

Don't know which one I used.

4. When are WE going to start calling them fascists?

[Maraya1969]

6. Maybe we should start now. Rubio is an idiot and fascism fits him best as the

political and social environment he desires.

I will campaign for Val Deming. I pray she beats this complete ass.

12. I already do.

5. "Majority rules" is now Marxist

It's a good thing we have our Betters, like Sen. Rubio, here to explain what a horrible danger voting poses to the country. We'll need to support any legislation that outlaws elections so that ubermensches like Rubio can rule unfettered by the grim specter of answering to the voters.

8. Rubio doesn't like it here

he should go back to Cuba

[RainCaster]

9. AGREED!!!

[Mike Nelson]

11. Ha-ha!

... little marco obviously knows Karl Marx, but he's "playing to the base" of FL voters that know the word Marxist. I hope this means his polling shows he's in trouble! Val should visit Cuban communities quickly and get her self pictured with smiling supporters!

13. Pandering

to the corrupt Batista mob that moved to South Florida to escape the Marxist takeover of Cuba. Soon to be 24/7 TV and radio propaganda.

14. Jaysus. Rubio did actually go to school . . .

didn't he?

Are we sure?

15. Rubio is an ignorant twit -an intellectual featherweight.

He obviously has no idea how stupid his comment is. He just knows "Marxism" is bad! Therefore, in what passes for Rubio's mind, calling something "Marxism" is a kill shot.

16. The Campaign TV Ad Writes Itself

As Bugs would say, "What a maroon".

[11 Bravo]

17. Li'l Marco is a fucking dunce.

He wouldn't know "Marxism" if it bit him on the ass.

18. It's been abundantly clear for some time, Republicans don't believe in democracy

Their followers tried to violently overthrow our government in January. Without accountability for those at the top, the next time they may succeed.
