this after the vice president made a last-minute visit to capitol hill this afternoon, meeting with democratic senators to show support for the president s plan. and in the house, democrats are pushing their revised version of the voter protection bill named after the late john lewis, hoping to see a vote by early september. of course, the nationwide assault on the vote by state republicans will not abate in that time. case in point, texas, where legislators in the state are also in another special session, the second call by the governor in the past month to pass voter restrictions after state democrats fled the state to protect the vote. but one heavily watched democratic primary concluded this week, and shortly i ll ask chantel brown, the winner of that high-profile ohio congressional race about her state s political future ahead of next year s midterms. but first, joining me now, senator michael bennett of colorado, a democrat. senator bennet, thank you, vice president
what they plan to do to safeguard the right to vote. democracy is under vigorous, vicious, and sinister attack, beginning with the events of january 6th at the capitol and cascading like a tsunami through state legislatures across the nation. we are going to build a movement around this country to resist that, what is clearly a move to try to disenfranchise people of color from voting, the methodical way this has been laid out in the state legislatures and at their state legislation is geared toward robbing us of the vote. the movement from the ground up is starting to be the only way that we can preserve our right to vote. we informed them that this is going to come not from the white house down, but from our houses up. according to the brennan center for justice, since january, 48 states have introduced at least 389 bills to restrict voting. 17 states have signed 28 new laws curbing access to the vote. another 61 bills are moving through 18 other state legislatures. t
