i think it s a wrong piece of legislation to bring our country together and unite our country. i m not supporting that because i think it would divide us further. i don t want to be in a country that divides us any furtherer. that s senator joe manchin, announcing he will not support the voting rights bill or end the legislative filibuster. manchin wrote an op-ed, a new one, and he says we now are witnessing the fundamental right to vote has itself become overtly politicized. tort s debate on how to protect our vote and hold elections is not about finding ground but seeking partisan advantage. joining me now is walter schaub, he s now senior ethics fellow for the project on government oversight. walter, it s great to have you here this morning.
