Apparently the Senate will take up some truncated form of voting rights. There are some Republican Senators who are putting forth proposals. As Rafael Warnock says, they are inadequate, but they deserve to be heard.
It will be interesting if they can find 10 Republican Senators to sign on to some sort of bill to fix the problems exposed by January 6th and Trumpist attempts to overthrow the election. No serious effort to stop gerrymandering or voter suppression, but some attempt to stop another blatant attempt to subvert elections via force or fraud.
It might be all we get out of this Congress, which might have to be enough.
