1. He could support voting rights while still being opposed to removing the filibuster

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Yes, he certainly could

The thing is, we keep hearing from all these people who talked to him, why doesn't be just come out and publicly explain himself? Obviously, his constituents want to know.

[MichMan]

3. He has already said he doesn't support removing the filibuster, hasn't he ?

4. Yes, he has, which is why they're considering making "an exception" as they have for other issues

Anything that gets voting rights passed is just fine with me. They can deal with the filibuster another day.
