How West Virginia Progressives Are Pushing Joe Manchin On Voting Reform A local coalition hopes to use praise to win their senator s support for the For the People Act. But is it too late? Any legislation that Democrats hope to pass and put on President Joe Biden’s desk needs Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) support first. The chances for his vote seem to be slipping away for the For the People Act, a sweeping election reform package. But the legislation’s supporters, particularly progressives in Manchin’s home state of West Virginia, aren’t giving up. Despite large coalitions of national groups organizing the grassroots campaign to pass the bill, the campaign to win Manchin’s support has largely been a local affair. A coalition of West Virginia groups is working to educate West Virginians and Manchin’s office about the bill and why he should support it.
