Senate Republicans on Wednesday again filibustered a voting bill that Democrats argued was compromise legislation necessary to protect voting rights.
The bill, The Freedom to Vote Act, failed 49-51, with Senate Republicans denying it the 60 votes needed to begin debate on the bill. Unlike earlier voting bills brought to the floor by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer only to be killed by Republican opposition, this one had the support of the entire Democratic caucus and included popular provisions like a nationwide voter ID standard.
