"The fight to protect our voting rights is the fight to protect our democracy, so we stand with them and applaud their ongoing efforts to ensure our citizens have access to the ballot box," Hillary Clinton said in a statement. Their efforts on Capitol Hill could also get a boost thanks to new developments on the bipartisan infrastructure package. The negotiations around the infrastructure deal have been occupied the attention of several key senators. But the package cleared a key hurdle on Wednesday night, when the chamber“With infrastructure going to a cloture vote … it creates a lane, at least opens up some space, to get voting rights back in the narrative,” said Martinez Fischer.
