Senate set to take up sweeping voting rights bill. But it's unlikely to advance
CBSN
The Senate on Tuesday is set to take up a sweeping voting elections reform bill, an attempt by Democrats to respond to the restrictive voting measures taken up and enacted by multiple Republican-led states across the country. But despite implementing changes to the bill to assuage a moderate Democrat, it is unlikely to receive sufficient support to advance to a full vote on the Senate floor.
On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday's vote is simply to begin debate on voting rights. "It's not a vote on any particular policy," Schumer said. "It's not a vote on this bill or that bill. It's a vote on whether the Senate should simply debate the issue about voting rights, the crucial issue of voting rights in this country."
