Senate Democrats Revamp Voting Rights Bill

“Senate Democrats are preparing to release a revised voting rights bill as soon as this week, hoping to keep the legislation alive a month after Republicans blocked the consideration of a previous, more sweeping proposal,” the Washington Post reports.

“Several key senators huddled inside Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer’s office on Wednesday to hash out the details of the bill, which is expected to at least partially incorporate a framework assembled by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who expressed qualms about the previous bill, known as the For the People Act.”

“They emerged saying a new product could be released in a matter of days.”
