This Bill is terrifying....

Otherwise, the Trumplicans will have to nuke the filibuster, and even that may not be enough.

I meditate for it to fail..... They all, Congress and the Senate know it will disenfranchise women voters....how can they even coincide this? So insane...

But it also would generally not impact those already registered whose info hasn't changed it would only immediately impact people just now registering or those who have to update their existing registration

Quote from google AI:

“As of early 2026, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is the Chair of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, following leadership changes in the 119th Congress. He leads the committee, which oversees federal elections, campaign finance law, and Senate operating procedures.”

Here is a great article about it from The New Republic:

His reasoning is not sound, but the outcome is helping keep this legislation from seeing the light of day for the time being.
