For The People Inaction

The vote to open a debate about the For The People Act, which would make it easier to vote, strengthen campaign finance rules, and end partisan gerrymandering, was blocked in the Senate yesterday with all 50 Republicans united against it.

We spoke with Crooked Media's Political Director Shaniqua McClendon about what might happen next.
