Civil rights leaders must remember the people want restoration of the VRA and the For The People Act. Do not let Manchin off the hook and claim if he supports the VRA it’s a victory. No, it’s a trick.
The VRA is going to face heavy challenges from Republicans. All the bills passed before the VRA passed would not have to gone through pre-clearance. If we don’t get the For The People Act then these things will be lost.
The For the People Act, which has already passed the Democratic-controlled House, would bar states from limiting voting by mail, would require prepaid postage on absentee ballots, and would mandate voter registration on the same day as the election.
It would also effectively overturn unnecessary voter ID laws by requiring states to allow voters to submit sworn statements in lieu of identification.
Don’t play with Manchin. John Lewis wrote the For The People Act so you can’t support one without the other.
