Good news: House passes Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore Voting Rights Act of 1965:
On Capitol Hill just now, the House of Representatives has voted to PASS the Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2019 to restore the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Bad news: This will join the mountain of other bills sitting in the Senate that McConnell refuses to do anything about.
