Moderate Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who often work together on legislative issues, are appealing to congressional leaders to reauthorize a version of the Voting Rights Act that is most likely to get bipartisan support.

They’ll still need 60 votes, unless the Dems can get Lin Wood to give them another seat or two. Then they’ll only need 50 votes.

The word “moderate” doesn’t belong in a sentence with the Voting Rights Act.

There is no "bipartisan" with Dems.

It is the Repukes giving in.

Shouldn’t be a problem. They got 93 votes to certify the stolen election and none of them came from Lin Wood.

Thank you
So many here slather over all that crap liberal Republicans helped liberal democrats usher in 55 years ago

The legislative foundation which has been used to destroy us ever since

Yet talk radio trumpets it all the time

I hate to say it from Rush to Shapiro to Levin to Hannity even Rush replacements tout those abominations

Acts Reagan opposed publicly...btw....as a burgeoning politician

Yet GOPe brags about it
