Conservative groups mobilize against Democrats' sweeping election bill, targeting moderate senators

Several conservative groups are redoubling their efforts to oppose the sweeping elections bill Democrats are trying to pass through Congress, particularly focusing on states with Democratic senators who may be reluctant to end the legislative filibuster, including one nearly $2 million ad campaign launched Tuesday.

"You saw the progressive left jamming very unpopular bills and provisions that are out of touch with the American people," she continued. "And then you contrast that with Republicans on the committee, everyone from Sen. Blunt to Cruz, McConnell, all talking about ways to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat." The bill, given the number S. 1 in the Senate, would vastly expand the federal government's role in elections nationwide. This includes by requiring states to offer drop boxes for 45 days before an election, banning states from requiring photo ID to vote, raising barriers for states to clear voter rolls and restructuring the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) from a six-member body to a five-member body.
