The People Want Their Voting Rights Protected

As President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, and Majority Leader Schumer are strategizing on how they can get voting rights protections through the Senate, the American people are demanding that their right to vote be protected from the ongoing state-level Republican voter suppression assault.

The odds are that if Senate Democrats can’t get a filibuster carve out for voting rights legislation, their next move will be to attach key voting rights protections to the infrastructure reconciliation bill.

Texans are looking at a GOP-led theft of their right to vote, and they are making their displeasure known.

The Senate must act to protect voting rights. People on the ground in Texas and all across the country demand it.
