Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 19, 2022

Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: In 2006, the Senate voted 98-0 to reauthorize and strengthen the Voting Rights Act. 16 current Senate Republicans voted yes. It wasn't a federal takeover of elections then, and it isn't now. But the Big Lie stands in the way, consuming what was once the Party of Lincoln.
