US Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) just proposed a compromise voting rights proposal that is not only rather good, but it also sets him up to finally accept a change to the filibuster. But will he?
I'm a little with Jinny on this but cautiously optimistic that Manchin has always been concerned with appearing to give Republicans the chance he knows they'll refuse before acting. He has to choose between protecting his job and protecting the right to vote. Here's hoping he chooses right so history can judge him well
Is Joe Manchin playing 11th dimensional chess with Mitch McConnell on voting rights?

I'm afraid to hope that Manchin is playing the long game but it would be great if he is!
