It's another failure for Democrats to pass a voting reform bill.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, a voting reform bill that Democrats have promoted as a key piece of their legislative agenda, failed to muster enough Republican votes to break a filibuster in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, marking another unsuccessful effort from Democrats to pass a voting reform bill.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer speaks to the media in Washington on November 28, 2017. was the only Republican to vote in favor of the bill, which Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell slammed as a “go-nowhere bill” that he claims is not needed. The act sought to reinstate a critical piece of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that the Supreme Court struck down in 2013, which required states and localities with a history of voter discrimination to receive “preclearance” from the Justice Department and federal courts before changing voting laws.
