Group rallies for voting rights amid All-Star Game events

A group of people gathered near downtown Denver on Sunday to call attention to what brought Major League Baseball's All-Star Game to the city in the first place: voting rights.

Voting rights ruling increases pressure on Democrats to act

Congressional Democrats are facing renewed pressure to pass legislation that would protect voting rights after a Supreme Court ruling made it harder to challenge Republican efforts to limit ballot access.

GOP filibuster blocks Democrats' big voting rights bill

The Democrats' sweeping attempt to rewrite U.S. election and voting law has suffered a major setback in the U.S. Senate.

In Senate vote, Biden sees 'step forward' for elections bill

The White House says the Senateโ€™s work on an elections overhaul and changes offered by Sen_ Joe Manchin are a โ€œstep forward.โ€.

Civil rights leaders don't budge key senator on voting bill

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says he wasn't swayed by civil rights leaders who implored him to back his party's sweeping voting rights bill.

Democrats revise voting bill, but Senate obstacles remain

Democrats are rethinking parts of their legislation to overhaul U.S. elections.

AP-NORC poll: Majority in US back easier voter registration

A new survey measuring the popularity of major pieces of sweeping legislation in Congress finds solid support from Americans for Democratsโ€™ proposals to overhaul voting in the U.S. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found about half of Americans support expanding access to early and mail voting, while about 3 in 10 opposed the ideas and the rest had no opinion.

Democrats launch sweeping bid to overhaul US election laws

But there was no widespread fraud, as has been confirmed by election officials across the country and then-Attorney General William Barr. Dozens of legal challenges to the election put forth by Trump and his allies were dismissed, including by the Supreme Court. The bill would stymie state GOP efforts by mandating early voting, same-day registration and other long-sought reforms that Republicans reject. But daunting challenges lay ahead in the Senate, which is split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats. Under pressure from the partyโ€™s left flank, Democrats have proposed eliminating the filibuster but lack the votes to do so.

Democrats make federal election standards a top priority

Democrats plan to move quickly on one of the first bills of the new Congress, which would set federal election standards. Advocates say the bill is the most consequential piece of voting legislation since the Voting Rights Act of 1965. House Democrats vowed two years ago to make the bill a priority, and they reintroduced it this month as H.R. That bill would restore a key provision of the Voting Rights Act that had triggered federal scrutiny of election changes in certain states and counties. In general, state election officials have been wary of federal voting requirements.

Former Sen. Paul Sarbanes of Maryland has died, at 87

WASHINGTON โ€“ Former Sen. Paul Sarbanes, who represented Maryland for 30 years in the Senate as a leader of financial regulatory reform and drafted the first article of impeachment against Republican President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal as a congressman, has died, his son said. Rep. John Sarbanes, the late senator's son, said his father died peacefully Sunday night in Baltimore. Sarbanes entered politics in 1966 with a successful run for Marylandโ€™s House of Delegates before reaching Congress four year later. Known for his cerebral and self-effacing manner, Sarbanes focused during much of his career on complex and seemingly humdrum economic issues. Sarbanes, the son of Greek immigrants, was a native of Salisbury on Marylandโ€™s Eastern Shore.
