YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

House Democrats passed the For the People Act this week, their effort to expand voter registration, early voting and absentee voting. The Supreme Court heard arguments about an Arizona case that could lead to the gutting of an enforcement provision in the Voting Rights Act. And in Georgia, the Republican House passed a bill that would restrict early and absentee voting, a bill criticized by state Democrats as voter suppression. The panel discussed why voting rights has become a key part of the American political debate and the effects it could have on the 2022 and 2024 elections. Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report guest moderates.

Panel: Sahil Kapur of NBC News, Jonathan Martin of The New York Times, Amna Nawaz of the PBS NewsHour
