From Vox
Manchin suggested on Wednesday that Congress should pass a much bolder attempt to roll back Shelby County. In an interview with ABC News, Manchin proposed making the John Lewis Act apply “to all 50 states and territories.” Thus, all states, not just the handful of states with the worst record on race, would be required to submit any new voting rules to federal review in order to make sure that the new rule will not target voters of color.
Applying pre-clearance to all states would take the bite out of some Republican attempts to suppress votes.
Comments
Manchin's proposal does not address gerrymandering
The proposal is unlikely to find 10 Republicans to vote in favor of the proposed bill
Abolishing the filibuster may be the only way the bill could pass.
