Washington, D.C. — Today, Marina Jenkins, Executive Director of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), issued the following statement after the U.S. Senate voted to reject an attempt to amend provisions from the SAVE America Act to a reconciliation bill:

“Republicans’ backdoor attempt to sneak an extreme voter suppression bill that guts early voting, kills mail-in ballots, and rigs voter registration through budget reconciliation was appropriately stopped in its tracks. In doing so, the Senate has ensured that power will remain in the hands of the people and not politicians who want to pick and choose whose voices count. This fight is not over, but this is a victory for democracy and for every voter they attempted to silence.”
