Every single Senate Republican just voted against starting debate \u2014 starting debate \u2014 on legislation to protect Americans\u2019 voting rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOnce again, the Senate republican minority has launched a partisan blockade of a pressing issue here in the United States Senate, an issue no less fundamental than the right to vote,\u201d Schumer noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOnce again Senate Republicans have signed their names in the ledger of history alongside Donald Trump, the big lie and voter suppression to their enduring disgrace. \u2026 But I want to be very clear about one thing: The fight to protect voting rights is not over, by no means,\u201d Schumer added, per <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/senate\/559743-schumer-vows-next-steps-after-ridiculous-awful-gop-election-bill-filibuster?rl=1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Hill,<\/span><\/a> describing the GOP filibuster as \u201cridiculous and awful.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cMake no mistake about it, it will not be the last time voting rights comes up for a debate in the Senate. \u2026 We have several serious options for how to reconsider this issue and advance legislation to combat voter suppression. We are going to explore every last one of our options,\u201d Schumer added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/06\/22\/statement-by-president-joe-biden-on-the-for-the-people-act\/\"><span class=\"s1\">statement<\/span><\/a> released Tuesday, Biden, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/psaki-pushes-back-at-progressive-criticism-of-biden-those-words-are-a-fight-against-the-wrong-opponent\"><span class=\"s1\">who was criticized by progressives<\/span><\/a> for his perceived silence on the voting rights legislation, said, \u201cI\u2019ll\u00a0have more to say on this next week. But let me be clear. This fight is far from over\u2014far from over. I\u2019ve been engaged in this work my whole career, and we are going to be ramping up our efforts to overcome again\u2014for the people, for our very democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), chairwoman of the Rules Committee in the Senate, appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/transcripts\/transcript-rachel-maddow-show-6-22-21-n1272083\"><span class=\"s1\">MSNBC\u2019s<\/span><\/a> \u201cThe Rachel Maddow Show\u201d on Tuesday night saying that senators are going to take the voting legislation straight to the American people in their next attempts to federally alter election procedures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Maddow asked Klobuchar, \u201cWhat\u2019s next?\u201d to which Klobuchar responded, \u201cWhat\u2019s next? We\u2019re going to Georgia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe Rules Committee has not gone on the road for 20 years, and that is just the beginning because my colleagues maybe should have learned a lesson in Georgia, my Republican colleagues,\u201d she noted, saying that Sen.<b>\u00a0<\/b>Raphael Warnock (D-GA) was \u201cthe guy who said it all in probably one sentence. This is all summed up that some people don\u2019t want some people to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe are not ending this fight,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd one of the ways we do that is getting out of this Capitol dome and heading out to the states so we can hear from people and so my colleagues can hear them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Repeating Democratic talking points on voter laws, Klobuchar added, \u201cit\u2019s hard to hide when you have people talking about standing in 10-hour lines without food and water or people trying to find one drop-off ballot box in the middle of Harris County, Texas, of 5 million people, or the discriminatory voting practices, or six states still requiring notarized signatures from notary publics just to get an application for an absentee ballot.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-gop-stops-democrats-attempt-to-tilt-every-election-permanently-in-their-favor\"><span class=\"s1\">noted<\/span><\/a>, \u201cSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that S-1, the election bill Democrats have been pushing for months, was \u2018Democrats\u2019 transparently partisan plan to tilt every election in America permanently in their favor.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
