Republican state legislatures are attacking voting rights. Congress has the power to fight back.

Michael Latner, Alex Keena, Anthony McGann and Charles Anthony Smith give an overview of these measures, and look at the For the People Act as Congressional Democrats’ best chance to protect voting rights.
