As Joe Biden Eyes Major Voting Reform, Georgia Republicans Roll Back Rights
President Joe Biden has come out in support of restoring the 1965 Voting Rights Act as Democrats in the House approved a new measure that would see major reform.
The House passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act by a vote of 220 to 210 on Thursday. The bill is named for the late Civil Rights icon and Democratic Congressman John Lewis.
If passed by the Senate and signed by Biden, the new act would expand access to voting and give the federal government more power to reject restrictions imposed by state governments on voting rights.
The bill comes at the same time as state legislatures are moving to impose new conditions on voting.
