Voting rights & Manchin

Joe Manchin's statement on S. 1(voters rights bill)

https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-pledges-bipartisan-efforts-on-voting-rights-legislation Below his last paragraph:

“As the Senate prepares to take up the For the People Act, we must work toward a bipartisan solution that protects everyone’s right to vote, secures our elections from foreign interference, and increases transparency in our campaign finance laws. Pushing through legislation of this magnitude on a partisan basis may garner short-term benefits, but will inevitably only exacerbate the distrust that millions of Americans harbor against the U.S. government. We can and we must reform our federal elections together – not as Democrats and Republicans, but as Americans to restore the faith and trust in our democracy.

I leave the facts here. I am not criticizing the man so this post should not be taken down. "Democratic" Sentator Joe Manchin will not vote for the bill because Republicans won't vote for it. This law will prevent what GA did from happening In GA and every other state. We have 1 party trying to destroy democracy
