Senate Democrats are plowing forward with their sweeping election reform bill they argue is necessary to safeguard voting rights that are under attack, but Republicans have pledged to fight the legislation they ve dubbed a Democratic power grab to federalize local elections.
The clashing views will come to a head Tuesday morning when the Senate Rules Committee Tuesday will hold a hearing to advance the election overhaul legislation that s numbered S.1 to signify it s the Democratic majority s top priority in the Senate.
If the last hearing on the S.1 was any indication, tensions will be high as Democrats try to pass the bill out of committee and send it to a showdown vote on the Senate floor. During the March 24 hearing on the bill, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., launched heated broadsides against each other.
