This week, the Democratsâ bill to federalize our elections, S.1âalso known as the âFor the People Actââ failed to pass the U.S. Senate. Thanks to the filibuster, the bill fell short of its needed 60 vote threshold.
The filibuster stopped a partisan power grab that was designed to protect the Democratsâ majority. S.1 was a radical bill that would have made our elections less secure, and prone to widespread fraud. It even would have even banned popular voter ID laws.
