Said nationwide standards for voter access on things like early voting and mail voting and same-day registration. they also filibustered and blocked legislation that would have restored the voting rights act, basically to where it was when all of the senate republicans voted for it and george w. bush signed the extension into law, provisions that have since been weakened and undermined by two supreme court decisions delivered on a party line basis with every republican appointed justice outvoting every democratic appointed justice. there s a big change that s happened in the voting vits landscape over the last 15 years, and even and we re seeing all of that accelerate since the big lie in 2020, so even if they can come together and get ten votes on the electoral count act, it s a necessary but not sufficient response to what s going on. quick, the fact that they both, murkowski and manchin, endorsed each other. does it matter? it s a senate that used to exist, right, when you had ....
