Republicans are using Trump’s big lie about voter fraud to try to pass bills that would increase voter suppression. They want to make it harder to vote because they know, and some have even said it out loud, that they lose if everyone votes. Democrats in Congress need to get rid of the Senate filibuster and pass the voter rights bill.
