“Senate Republicans prevented the chamber from debating the John Lewis Voting Rights Act on Wednesday, despite Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s insistence discussing it.
The measure is meant to replace a portion of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013.
According to The Hill, Senators voted 50-49 mostly along party lines, falling short of the 60 vote threshold to overcome the Senate’s filibuster rule governing debate.
Vice-President Kamala Harris presided over part of the vote in the Senate, while Schumer voted with the Republicans to prevent debate which is a procedural move so he can bring it up again at a later time. “
