LAST MONTH: Fix Our Senate joined 90 groups calling on Senate Democrats to hold a vote before recess – and not let the abused filibuster get in the way
Washington, DC – Today, Fix Our Senate released the following statement on new reports that Senate Democrats are completing work on updated legislation to protect voting rights and prevent partisan gerrymandering and plan to hold a vote as soon as next week.
"Sen. McConnell is doing everything he can to run out the clock and prevent voting rights legislation from coming up for another vote, so we’re glad to hear that Senate Democrats are united around the need to protect our democracy and are committed to bringing strong legislation to the Senate floor for a pre-recess vote,” said Eli Zupnick, spokesman for Fix Our Senate. “We know that a majority of the Senate supports strong voting rights and anti-gerrymandering legislation and the only thing standing in the way is the outdated and abused filibuster.”
