Civil rights leaders called on President Biden to use his voice, influence and power to ensure access to the ballot box for all Americans.  While Biden isn’t staying silent, it’s unclear if his current efforts will create any significant change.  Biden is slated to give remarks on voting rights in Philadelphia today.  Reminder that the City of Brotherly Love is just one of the areas targeted by Former President Trump with false claims about voter fraud. Trump narrowly lost Pennsylvania to Biden in the 2020 election.  Public pressure alone hasn’t been successful in beating back the onslaught of GOP-sponsored restrictive voting legislation.  Without all Democrats on the same page on filibuster reform, federal voting reform will likely remain in limbo while states like Texas move toward passing restrictive voting legislation.
