Republican senators maintain strong opposition to democracy
Rights, shmights, Senate Republicans said on Sunday about voting reform legislation from Democrats.
The sweeping voting rights bill that passed in the House but stalled in the Senate is “the biggest power grab in the history of the country,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said on “Fox News Sunday.”
“It’s just a bad idea, and it’s a problem that most Republicans are not going to sign — they’re trying to fix a problem most Republicans have a different view of,” said the South Carolina senator.
The landmark “For the People Act,” touching on almost every aspect of the electoral process, aims to limit partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts, remove hurdles to voting and bring transparency to the country’s murky campaign finance system.
