The battle for voters’ rights, specifically the Freedom to Vote Act, is moving towards a Senate vote tomorrow, but GOP leaders promise a filibuster.
Freedom to Vote Act provisions:
-Make Election Day a public holiday
-Requires same-day registration at all polling locations by 2024
-Ensures at least 2 weeks of early voting for all federal elections
-Protects election officials from undue interference
-Allows voters to present a broad set of ID cards for in-person voting
-Bans partisan gerrymandering
On Tuesday, several human rights groups protested in front of the White House, demanding passage of the sweeping voting legislation.
Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the president has measures in place to push forward the landmark bill.
Senior Pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, Rev. Jamal Bryant, who’s in D.C. protesting, and Pennsylvania House Democratic Leader, Rep. Joanna E. McClinton from Philadelphia spoke with Roland Martin about the ongoing battle to pass voting legislation on #RolandMartinUnfiltered.
