Several years I was on the email list of our Congressman and every week, I’d get an email which included many, if not all, or the bills he voted for. He was a Republican so naturally most were Republican bills.

But some were described as bipartisan and I would look up the ones that sounded interesting. Nearly always, they were passed with well over 200 Republican votes and a very small number of Democrats – maybe 3 or 4.

But bipartisanship seems to mean an even lower standard now. The recent election security bill (H.R.2722) now being held-up in the Senate is described as bipartisan passed in the House with 1 Republican vote and 224 Democratic votes.

It does not seem to me to be a partisan bill at all. And one would think this was not a partisan issue but bipartisanship has hit a new low.
