The “For the People Act†is for the birds

Earlier this week, we previewed the Democrats’ new “voting rights†bill that was expected to be hitting the floor. This “reimagining†of the way people vote all across the nation would be mandated at the federal level. The roughly 800-page package had only been seen by a handful of people as of Tuesday morning, but they apparently didn’t feel like anyone really needed time to bother reading it. Last night, on a strictly party-line vote, the Democrats passed the “For the People Act.†The final details of the bill look just as bad as the preview we were originally given. (NY Post)
House Democrats passed a sweeping voting rights bill over Republican opposition late Wednesday.
The For the People Act, also known as House Resolution 1, was approved along party lines on a 220-210 vote.
The legislation aims to lower voting barriers, expand access to the polls, put an end to partisan gerrymandering and set up public funding for congressional races.
