He's of course correct that the Senate COULD pass a bill to give a voting bill that exemption, but it wouldn't get GOP support. So to get that rules change for voting/elections would be via the nuclear option -- not typical legislation and its 60-vote threshold. — PolitiTweet.org

"We could not imagine changing the rules. Until last week, we did exactly that," Warnock says. "This is a step ... we haven't been able to take to save our broken democracy ... we changed the rules to protect the full faith and credit of the United States government" — PolitiTweet.org
