The “For the People Act,” H.R.1/S.1, is locked up in the Senate, unlikely to get the 60 votes it needs to overcome solid Republican opposition. Impatient House Democrats insist on breaking it out, hoping to shame senators by highlighting parts that motivate party activists, sympathetic interest groups, and donors.
This played out Tuesday in a House subcommittee hearing led by North Carolina’s G.K. Butterfield. The 1st District Democrat, who chairs the Administration Committee’s elections subcommittee, “voiced his concerns about recent voting requirement laws in states such as Georgia and Texas, as well as those that have been passed in his home state, such as Voter ID,” reported NC Policy Watch via the States Newsroom.
