With some already calling Voting Rights the next Lightning Rod in next years midterm elections, its certainly becoming a Dividing Line in the congress as progressives and certainly black democrats call for an end to the filibuster, looming threat to fragile Voting Rights bills while Senate Republicans are opposed to expanding both voter protections and reforming a system they claimed was broken beyond repair. Until they were asked
