Senate Prepares to Vote on Voting Rights Legislation

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Senate Democrats are working to convince Republicans to support voting rights legislation that is scheduled for a vote on Tuesday.  Known as the "For The People Act," it passed the House in March mostly along party lines, but it is not expected to pass in the Senate.

The legislation would expand early voting, relax voter ID requirements, and allow for voter registration on election day.  It would also put a limit on practices used to perform list maintenance on voter rolls.
