Schumer, Manchin strike deal ahead of election bill vote

Jordain Carney 31 mins ago

Schumer, speaking to reporters after a closed-door caucus lunch, announced that he and Manchin had reached an agreement. Under the deal, Manchin will provide a 50th Democratic vote on advancing the For the People Act, even though it will fall short of the 60 votes needed due to GOP opposition.

"We worked it out," Schumer told reporters.

In exchange for voting "yes" on Tuesday, Schumer said if Democrats are able to advance to floor debate on the bill, something they won't be able to do because of across-the-board Republican opposition, he will give Manchin a vote on his proposal as an amendment.

"Over the past month, I have worked to eliminate the far reaching provisions of S.1, the For the People Act - which I do not support. I've found common ground with my Democratic colleagues on a new version of the bill that ensures our elections are fair, accessible and secure," Manchin said in a statement.

"Today I will vote 'YES' to move to debate this updated voting legislation as a substitute amendment to ensure every eligible voter is able to cast their ballot and participate in our great democracy," he added.

The For the People Act is a sweeping bill that in addition to setting national voting standards would also change the composition of the Federal Election Commission, add new restrictions on congressional redistricting, overhaul campaign finances and include new ethics rules for the president and vice president.

Manchin has said he can't support the bill as it was introduced. Instead, he circulated a list of what he can and cannot support. He said supports making Election Day a public holiday, mandating at least 15 consecutive days for early voting in federal elections, banning gerrymandering and making voter registration through state motor vehicle departments.

Manchin is also ready to back tighter campaign finance requirements currently in the For the People Act, including requiring online and digital ads to disclose their source similar to TV and radio ads, imposing tighter ethics requirements for presidents and vice presidents, and requiring campaigns and committees to report foreign contacts.

But he's also recommending jettisoning one of the more controversial parts of the bill – public financing of campaigns. While he supports absentee voting he doesn't go so far to endorse no-excuse absentee voting and, in a move likely to upset some Democrats, Manchin is proposing voter ID requirements with the possibility of alternatives such as a utility bill to provide proof of identity in order to vote.
