GOP Stops Democrats’ Attempt To ‘Tilt Every Election … Permanently In Their Favor,’ McConnell Says

Republican senators shot down an attempt by Democrats on Tuesday to pass an election bill, dubbed the “For the People Act,” that has been widely criticized as partisan.

“All 50 Democrats voted for the procedural measure, but it drew no GOP support, leaving it short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “Democratic centrists, most prominently Mr. Manchin and Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, have rejected ending the filibuster, though some have suggested ways to weaken it.”
