Democracy \u2013 the very soul of America \u2013 is at stake.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Senate Democrats would like to start debate on the Freedom to Vote Act. Senate Democrats have worked hard to ensure this bill includes traditionally bipartisan provisions. But Senate Republicans are likely to block even debate on the bill, as they have before on previous voting rights bills. It\u2019s unconscionable.<\/p>\n<p>The right to vote \u2013 to vote freely, to vote fairly, and to have your vote counted \u2013 is fundamental. It should be simple and straightforward.
