McConnell: No GOP Support For Voting Rights Bill

The Democratic-backed voting rights bill faces opposition in the Senate.

Senate Republicans sent a fresh message to their Democratic colleagues: Good luck trying to get voting legislation through the upper chamber. But the core desire they have is to federalize all elections, to try to achieve a benefit for the Democrats at the expense of the Republicans. Not surprisingly, there will not be a single Republican who supports it. Democrats are trying to pass a sweeping voting rights bill that would make it easier to vote. But they don't have the votes required to pass legislation.
