If it becomes law, it would be the "worst voter suppression bill ever passed by Congress," according to Ari Berman, national voting rights correspondent for Mother Jones. "The bill really combines a lot of the worst things that Republicans want to do with regards to voting, and it comes at a time when Trump appears dead set to try to interfere in the midterm elections," he adds. Wednesday's vote sends the legislation on to the Republican-led Senate, where it is expected to receive a vote but unlikely to garner the 60-vote, filibuster-proof majority needed for passage.

Thank you for this piece! You did a great job of bringing several stories together to show how they are working from many different directions to try to disrupt the next election! I’ve seen all of them separately, but this is the first time that I’ve seen it all put together!😢 It’s very scary that most people are just seeing headlines and are not aware of what is actually happening!!!! Hopefully, shows like yours reach more people and make them more aware!!!!
