The House on Tuesday passed voting rights legislation named for the late Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a party-line vote that underscores the bill's nearly impassable upward climb in the Senate.
Senate Republicans filibustered a more sweeping Democratic elections bill in June and most also oppose the more targeted voting proposal.
It is unlikely to advance further in the Senate, where the legislative filibuster remains intact despite a progressive push for changes that would weaken the chamber's supermajority requirement to pass most bills. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has cast doubt on the need for the proposal, arguing that the Supreme Court only eliminated the preclearance formula determining which jurisdictions needed federal approval to make substantive changes to voting laws — not the voting rights protections themselves. Advocates, on the other hand, say the voting protections are toothless without that preclearance formula.
The Lewis-named bill only has one GOP sponsor in the Senate, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
