Manchin Searches for GOP Votes for Election Reform

Politico: “As Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) pursues a longshot bipartisan agreement, some Senate Republicans are engaging in preliminary discussions with him on the issue.”

“Even though Senate Republicans have ruled out legislation Manchin and a group of Senate Democrats introduced last month, which amounted to an intraparty compromise on elections and ethics reform, that’s not stopping the West Virginia Democrat from frantically looking for GOP partners while a much-anticipated vote on the legislation remains on pause.”
