Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., condemned House Democrats on Wednesday for legislation that would have a major impact on how elections are conducted throughout the U.S.

In a speech on the Senate Floor, McConnell called the 570-page bill an attempted “power grab” for how it gives the federal government more control over elections, taking that authority away from the states.

Dubbing it the “Democratic Politician Protection Act,” McConnell also decried how it would make Election Day a federal holiday.
