[Rhiannon12866]

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) says the wave of GOP-backed voter suppression bills passed by state legislatures shows how urgent the need is to pass the Senate’s voting rights bill. He tells Lawrence O’Donnell despite a “supermajority” of Americans who want Congress to protect voting rights, Republican leadership has barred its members “from trying to ensure that every American can vote.” Aired on 05/11/21.
