@lbarronlopez @marianne_levine Manchin wants more flexibility for state officials to remove voters from voter rolls. He also opposes no excuse absentee voting and has indicated discomfort with public financing of elections. He's also been telling colleagues he still thinks he can get Republican support — PolitiTweet.org
