Voting Rights Act
Word is that Manchin is inching closer to a compromise that would include voter ID requirements.
im not against voter ID per se.
the real issue is whether or not there are obstacles to getting it for poor people who are transportation challenged or people that are feeble.
if it is extraordinarily of easy access and decentralized and available here there and everywhere I’m fine with it.
Update - The Manchin compromise has gained wide democratic support for most of its proposals including caller ID including from Rep. Warnock and Stacey Abrams.
McConnell however says the republicans will try to fillibuster the Shumer led bill and the republicans have no interest in the Manchin compromise.
The Republicans care less about Voter ID then using it as a way to keep some people from easily getting it so that those certain people won’t vote.
The Joe Manchin voter ID proposal is exposing The Grand Old Pyromaniacs.
