Time to rethink voting rights amid bipartisan reforms
The Senate faces a doomed bid on a sweeping voting rights bill after months of wrangling. Democrats seek bipartisanship with three concrete measures: fix the Electoral Count Act to prevent subversion, shield election officials from threats, and restore parts of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
