THE MORE YOU KNOW: The House passed a sweeping voting rights act. What's in it?
The House passed Wednesday the For the People Act, which would provide sweeping reforms to protect voters' rights, increase election security, mandate independent redistricting and more.
The For the People Act, also known as H.R. 1, was first introduced and passed in 2019 during the last Congress and reintroduced by Rep. John Sabranes, D-Md.
The bill passed 220-210, with one Democrat joining all voting Republicans to oppose the bill. Two Republicans did not vote.
