The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5746, the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act

with all Democrats voting in favor and all Republicans voting against. The passage was part of a coordinated plan to enable the bill to receive a full debate in the Senate, as outlined in a memo from the Senate Democratic Caucus yesterday. The bill, which contains both the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, now heads back to the Senate for debate on the Senate floor. Important to note, this bill can bypass the typical procedural motions to open debate, meaning the bill will be considered and debated while previous voting rights bills were blocked by Republicans during the procedural actions.

3. I know, it is telling, isn't it?

What percentage of Republican voters understand how their representatives are working to suppress the vote and that is the same as cheating/stealing? Seems to me they're fine with it.
