https://www.mediaite.com/tv/breakin...ng-rights-bill-as-senate-vote-comes-up-short/All Democrats voted for cloture with the exception of Schumer, who changed his vote to “no” so that the bill may potentially be brought up a later date. Meanwhile, all 50 Republicans voted against.
The bill has numerous provisions designed make it easier to vote and to register to vote. Among the measures, the act would expand automatic voter registration and same-day registration, make election day a national holiday, allow more people to vote by mail, and require states to expansive early voting.
The legislation also seeks to end partisan gerrymandering of districts and require the disclosure of dark money.
