Senate Republicans Tuesday blocked sweeping legislation on election and campaign finance reforms that Democrats said is crucial is ensuring voting rights and saving democracy but Republican blasted as a partisan federal takeover of elections.
The "For the People Act" needed 60 votes to clear a procedural vote in the Senate Tuesday, but Republicans filibustered and killed the legislation from advancing to debate. No Republicans joined with the 50 Democrats on the motion to proceed.

Yes, but Democrats — led by Obama — are now backing Joe Manchin’s “watered down” bill. DANGER is not over!

For once, the GOP acts as one, with zero weak links.
Not even Mitt or Susan Collins caused a fuss this time.

They’ll stick the RCV provisions inside some huge, unrelated piece of legislation.
Betcha...

Now they will try to eliminate the filibuster.
Then if they manage that, they will bring this bill up again.

C'mon, it's theatre..now the dems will offer something not so drastic and the pubes will be forced to agree, since the dems backed off. "WE NEED TO COMPROMISE" will be the mantra
and the dems get exactly what they wanted in the first place.

Some good news at last. I’m sure the Dems have a back-up plan, though, so it’s not over until the November elections (when they will surely lose seats unless they pass this).

The only thing saving our republic right now is that the democrat-lites in the Senate can’t make the impact they could if the Senate were not virtually tied.
