Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said on Tuesday that he had a "constructive" meeting with a group of civil rights leaders but that he was unmoved on his opposition to a sweeping bill to overhaul federal elections.
"There was nothing basically for-or-against. ... Basically everyone's position was discussed," Manchin told reporters after the meeting.
Asked if the meeting changed his position on S.1, known as the For the People Act, he added: "No, I don't think anybody changed positions on that."

Yup
” with a group of civil rights leaders”
Don’t they mean a group of con artists?
What if the civil rights people treated Manchin with the same amount of respect they show other white people.
Trouble for the Dems unless Manchin bows to them.
Mancin. Read Derek Hunter’s Townhall article from today. He tells it like it is.
The question I have is, is photo ID an expression of systemic racism and/or white supremacy?
West Virginia is 92% white. It’s one of the whitest states in the U.S. I can’t imagine what the party leadership intended to accomplish by trotting out a bunch of “civil rights” A-holes to have a conversation with him.
Yup.
Give us our MONEY!!
You are absolutely right. Manchin has a price and it’s not “racial equality”. The price will be paid. Remember the Cornhusker Kickback?
The HR 1 thing ... changing voting laws would take an amendment wouldn’t it?
Help me understand how/why HR 1 is the threat some say it is...
Got to hold out for more money
************
Manchin must be getting an earful from his constituents. That’s the only thing that would cause him not to fold.
Time for Manchin to join the rest of W. VA in the Republican Party.
hanging by a manchin thread
It is a threat BECAUSE it hand ALL elections over to the Feds, state are NO LONGER responsible for their own voting laws!!
The 2022 midterms are in jeopardy for the Dems.
They need a designated driver.
The pressure is mounting and he will cave....mark that in your betting books! The mediapukes are doing everything in their power to force him to throw in the towel....Along with death threats and special interest groups pressuring him! I for one do not think that he will hold off and vote against his party lines no freaking way! He is a weasel and don’t understand why a red conservative block in his state keep voting him in. He’s a true blue 🐀 And not a moderate, he is a moderate only when it is beneficial to him personally. Didn’t he vote against justice Kavanaugh? But you are right the dollar signs are not there yet on his desk.
“For the People Act”
Sounds like socialist, commie, marxist crap to me.
HR 1 just isn’t going to work.
If it were to pass, it would be tied up in courts forever. No chance. Too many governors would simply not comply. Which would be cool.
I’m not saying I want it to pass! I don’t. But I don’t fear it.
