Similar Stories to “history Is Watching Us”: Democratic Senators Go All In For Voting Rights on Bing News

After two days of debate on the Senate floor, the Democrats’ Hail Mary push for voting rights came up short, as Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin joined with the GOP to block a rules change to the filibuster. Republican politicians quickly deployed the procedure to squash the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act, the paired bills that aimed, among other things, to stem gerrymandering and voter suppression across the nation. "What we would have done back then, we are doing right now." — @ReverendWarnock pic.twitter.com/x06Z3CmPJE — Mother Jones (@MotherJones) January 20, 2022 The defeat of the two bills had been all but inevitable since at least last week, when Sinema announced that she wouldn’t vote to curtail the filibuster to protect voting rights.
