Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the following the statement after Senate Republicans voted to block voting rights legislation:
“It’s disappointing to see my Republican colleagues continue to block legislation to protect the fundamental right to vote. The fight for our democracy is not a hypothetical one. In state legislatures across the country, Republican officials who perpetuate the former President’s Big Lie are working to restrict access the ballot and make it harder for Americans to have a voice in their government. Inaction is not an option. I am committed to doing everything I can to pass legislation to protect the right to vote, including reforming the Senate rules to overcome Republican obstruction.”
