The legislation is co-sponsored by every Senate Democrat except West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, who told NBC News he’d vote for a debate on the amended bill after he received assurances that the Senate would consider a compromise version he helped draft. The Democratic-led Senate needed all 50 Democratic votes and at least 10 Republicans to clear the 60 votes threshold. So far 14 states have introduced and passed voting restriction bills limiting everything from mail-in voting, absentee voting, ballot drop boxes, voter ID requirements and even laws limiting food and beverages near polling sites.
