This week could be the last dance for federal voting rights legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is moving Monday to set up a vote on the Freedom to Vote Act, which is likely to take placeWednesday.
Schumer, D-N.Y., who said it has the support of all 50 Democratic-voting senators, said the bill is necessary to “right the ship of our democracy and establish common sense national standards to give fair access to our democracy to all Americans.”
