Manchin said voting reform needs to be bipartisan for Americans to regain confidence.
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin is breaking with fellow Senate Democrats over voting reform proposals in the chamber – eschewing the sweeping For the People Act for a scaled-down version being put forth by Rep. John Lewis.
Manchin is a moderate in a strongly conservative state and is a critical yes vote for Senate Democrats in an evenly-split 50-50 chamber with Democrats. more
Voting laws belong to the states. And from what I see, a lot of states are trying to do the right thing by making the voting process more secure.
…as Jason says, Federal control of elections run by states is unconstitutional. Any senator who votes for it is violation his oath and should be hung for treason.
…it’s not a problem for the Dems tho. They’ve got Romney who will vote for it just to be an asshole, and Collins who will vote for it because she’s “shocked” about her colleagues something or other, and Murkowski who probably figures its her best chance to get elected again, like she actually believes the Dems will repay her treasonous favor because she doesn’t realize she’s the new Arlen Specter…

John Lewis died last year, right???
Like there is more than one… or like dying matters if you’re a Dem.
I’d believe this when I see the bill is defeated and the powergrab fails. He has a history of lying. Voted twice to convict Trump.
There is no moderate democrat in today’s “democratic” party.
