Manchin says he will vote against Democrats’ sweeping voting rights bill
- Sen. Joe Manchin said he will vote against the sweeping federal election reform bill introduced by congressional Democrats.
- The decision by the moderate West Virginia Democrat essentially guarantees the legislation will fail to pass in Congress.
- The bill, also known as S.1, would require a minimum of 10 GOP votes to move past the filibuster and move to a final vote on passage.
