Socalled filibuster rule, which now becomes all the important after todays vote. Excellent. Im not sure ive ever seen Steve Kornacki and his khakis as work on a ranked Choice Voting election so im very much looking forward watching him break this down. I started to write a script about the ranked choice thing, and i did a couple of shots at it and i just went, im leaving that to kornacki. Its just going to be, and heres Steve Kornacki, and go ahead and explain ranked choice. I just its tough. When it comes from the Point Of View of the voter i always thought it should be called One Two Three voting. From the point of voter you dont have to do anything that hard. The hard part to explain is how it gets tabulated. The counting the vote part of it is hard to explain. What you do as a voter isnt that hard. But i bet kornacki can explain that part better.

Favor of even allowing debate on the legislation. Put another way, all 50 republican senators voted no. While states are back home working hard to suppress the vote or certain votes, should we say, theres not a republican in the senate who wants to even allow a debate on this topic. An angry Majority Leader spoke moments after the vote was announced. Senate republicans have signed their names in the ledger of history alongside donald trump, the big lie, and Voter Suppression.

In an unusual move, Vice President harris presided over the senate during tonights vote. Afterwards, she vowed democrats will continue pushing for federal Voting
Southern senators in the sixties who defended states rights. This vote, im ashamed to say, is further evidence that Voter Suppression has become part of the official platform of the republican party. In an unusual move, Vice President harris presided over the senate during tonights vote afterward chief vowed democrats will continue pushing for federal Voting Rights legislation. When were talking about the right to vote, it is not a republican concern or a democratic concern it isnt an american concern. This is about the american peoples right to vote. Unfettered. It is about their access to the right to vote in a meaningful way, because nobody is debating i dont believe, whether all americans have the right to vote. The bottom line is that the president and i are very clear to support as one, to support the john lewis Voting Rights act and the fight is not over. Since january of this year, just since january at least 14 states have a net did 22 new laws that restrict access to voting.
