[QUOTE="mark46, post: 76014491, member: 257078"] HR1 is just grandstanding. It was passed in March 2019, with every progressive wish for changes to voting rights. There was no illusion that it might ever be passed. The Voting Right Act of 1975 was struck down in 2013. The Supreme Court found deficiencies that needed to fixed by Congress. Democrats have had EIGHT years for the lawyers to work on this. It was only the death of John Lewis that made this a priority at all. I totally reject the idea that the lawyers are too busy to do the work. The reality is that there are higher priorities for progressives, the highest of which to get rid of the filibuster. The really, really sad thing is that HR4 is a much, much better method. Manchin might have be pushed into a corner of supporting this and getting around the filibuster. [/QUOTE]
