Senate Democrats fail to advance voting and elections bill

Efforts by Senate Democrats to strengthen voting rights and overhaul the nation's election systems failed again. Republican lawmakers voted down the bill for a third time Wednesday. CBS News political contributor Antjuan Seawright, a Democratic strategist, and Republican strategist Joe Watkins joined CBSN to discuss.

Voter ID is necessary for the integrity of our Nation's elections

If you need an ID to board a plane, buy beer or cigs and to receive welfare. You should have to show an ID to vote.

Still trying to make it easier to fix elections... They have no shame. Let's go Brandon!

We need free voter ID for every legal citizen.  We need secure, protected ballots that don't float around in the unsecure mail for weeks.  We need prompt election result that can be verified and audited.  We need election day to be a holiday so everyone can go vote.  The only voting by mail should follow rules of absentee ballots.

All states have non drivers ids and some states do it for free. No excuse.

[johncandie]

Voter ID would solve all the issue no voter ID no vote period.

Don’t you mean the house failed to weaken voting laws?

Could have just shortened this video title to "Democrats

I don't understand what's going on black folks have been voting for years. Why is it always people say it's people like Us. Instead of just saying we need all to get our rights in not just a particular race which is all I hear it's boring and me as a Latino don't like it that is always against the white man. What is it your turn now to be the bully? When does this crap ever end.

Thank you Lord I am so glad that bill has been voted down. It was a disastrous thought which would have led to disastrous outcomes.

Who doesn’t want a fair election which includes having a proper ID?

[GaugeLiveSteam]

Vote on election day, in person, on paper ballots with photo ID

[Jayro]

When you're legislating from feelings and narratives it's hard to make good laws.

Remember when vaccine mandates were conspiracy theories??? Insubordination now... when will people realize how tyrannical and authoritarian this is.. fascists ironically call themselves anti fascist as a desensitization tactic
Let’s Go Brandon!👏👏👏👏👏

[kenbrown]

Why are democrats opposed to having an ID when you vote? Seems like common sense.

[Trumpwonallday]

You do realize that if this did pass it would be really over for America yes it is that close.

[birdman]

Everybody has a right to vote as long as they got an idea improve their a citizen of this country plain and simple

[goodgospel]

Every AMERICAN does have a right to vote now… I Thought African American were included in that? Am I wrong?

[looselipssinkships]

States can handle their own voting laws.
