"Democrats push for voter protections on 60th anniversary of March on Washington"
On the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, Congressional Democrats are renewing their push for voter protections by introducing a comprehensive package of eight bills. Led by Democratic Rep. Nikema Williams, the legislation aims to ensure free and fair access to the ballot, expand ballot access for non-English speakers and disenfranchised groups, improve voting-by-mail standards, set guidelines for voter wait times, and mandate protected time off for all workers on Election Day. However, with slim majorities in the House and Senate, it is unlikely that either the Democratic or Republican package will pass in the current Congress.
