Senate votes on voting rights bill sparks talks of special session
After five weeks of debate the Senate approved the measure with 43 Republicans and 29 Democrats backing it. No Republican senators opposed the bill. 18 Democrats mainly Southern plus Morse of Oregon voted against. The bill would empower the attorney general to seek court injunctions to enforce minority voting rights, while the House passed similar civil rights enforcement authority that the Senate removed. Officials said a presidential veto would likely be tied to a Senate revision and a fall special session could be called if Congress acts or doesn’t act this session. In education news, Dr. Leland H. Erickson of Kansas University will address Shawnee Mission Institute on Reading Is Everybody's Business and teach arithmetic workshops in Olathe Aug 22-29.
